Brenda’s apartment is absolutely the best deal in copacabana. There is no view that compares to her apartment. It is a full view of the beach from both the living room and the bedroom. It is a classic Brazilian apartment. The doormen in the building are absolute sweethearts and were so kind to us, especially Simon. Brenda checked in with us and made sure we had a safe arrival and that we were content throughout our stay. You cannot get a better view of the water than Brenda’s apartment. It was impeccably clean and I really appreciated that she provided highly quality toilet than available in most of brasil. The shower was lovely as well. I don’t have a single bad thing to say! The location was incredible and we had fabulous bars and restaurants all over within a block or two. I will recommend staying here to all my friends and family. I speak fluent Portuguese but I think someone who is not fluent would be able to manage the check in easily.
