You can't beat the location!!! There is everything you need close by and the security 24/7 gives you peace of mind! The apartment is located right in between copacabana beach and Arpoador/ipanema beach. The space is great, but is in need of a little TLC, which I think after suggestion, Bruno hopefully will look into it and would make this place to be great! You do hear the waves every night, and the church beside the building has some chickens, roosters and a dog which can be a little loud at night, but honestly didn't bother me at all, I slept fine. Overall, i enjoyed our stay, Bruno always answered my requests promptly and if you are traveling with family or group, you can't find many apartments with the space of this one.
