Fantastic stay for value in self contained apartment 3rd floor in complex, big pool area, doorman were great for entry, very safe. is front on to a busy street so taxi no problem. lots cafes and bars towards beach area.
3 mins walk supermarket, 5-7 min walk to Copacabana beach (watch tower 4 is approx) then 15 min walk along to Ipanema beach or 20 mins back to Palace so pretty handy spot for sure.
