it's a good apartment, lots of natural light and spaces to work from. living room is a little awkward but it works and feels big. the kitchen had everything you could want. we stayed for almost 2 months and had no complaints about the apartment itself. the building staff was excellent and very helpful. the area doesn't have a ton of great food around but it is really quite nice for Copacabana, a good amount of options in almost any category, quiet yet energetic, has a nice neighborhood feel, and easy walk to the beach and multiple grocery and fruit stores
