Absolutely clean and comfortable. Owned and managed by people of the highest integrity, caring, responsibility and responsiveness. Perfect location in the center of Copacabana. Great restaurants next door. Right next to the beach. The space is ideal for a single person or couple. There are distinct and separate rooms to sleep and to work or dine, as well as cook. I felt perfectly safe and secure. The apartment is light-filled and quite private: I heard no building noise. (Only four apartments each floor—the apartment is on the 12th and highest floor—I heard nothing from lateral neighbor or the hallway. )The dining table is large enough to both work online and spread out. I was able to work with two computers. I used the apartment as both a bedroom and separate workspace. It was perfect! While there is some street noise in the front bedroom I acclimated quickly. It was a joy to read in bed to the sounds of the City. The interior dining/living/work space is completely quiet. This apartment is entirely comfortable for long stays. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. (You will need 3 prong plug converters specific for Brazil.)
