The apartment is in a great location, steps from the Copacabana beach. The apartment itself is very well maintained, rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are well equipped. Showers have awesome water pressure and the hot water works perfectly. The AC's and fans are perfect. Nearby restaurants of any number of specialties. There's a supermarket around the corner stocked with anything you can need. Tourism office is near by as well as banks, pharmacies, and a taxi spot. On the other hand for our trip especially we found it not very well suited as we were traveling with 3 kids (ages: 5, 5, and 6) The space is great but it is not childproof. The apartment is on the 9th floor and the living room windows don't have locks or any sort of containment, or barrier, as well as a section out the back door. There's a large partition made of glass, as well as the dinner and coffee tables. Aside from that, a very good space in a secure, and awesome location.
