Inexpensive apartment, best for students on a budget. Experienced travelers would be disappointed. No windows to speak of, like being in a jail cell. When I mentioned to Brazilians where I was staying they rolled their eyes and thought it was one of the worst in Copacabana. Paid one extra stay for early entrance and one extra day for late checkout. Had to wait 20 minutes while the owner cleaned the place after a 20 hour flight. It should have been ready when I arrived. The water was turned off ond day without notice causing me to miss two scheduled meetings. If you need a cheap place and do not plan to stay inside, this is the apartment for you.
