The apartment is very good. The location is right in front of the Tunnel of Rua Tonelero. Walking to the beach is about 10 to 15 min. Maybe longer since you have to cross a few lively roads.
The one problem that exists is that Rua Tonelero is a busy road, thus when opening the windows one feels like sitting on the road. One bedroom goes out toward the street, without Oropax I could not sleep, the other goes out to the back, which is the perfectly quiet.
The apartment is spacious and Cristiane is always reachable with questions. (By whatsapp or phone) She was not in town when we stayed in the apartment, a friend of hers welcomed us in the apartment and showed us everything.
We would certainly choose the apartment again.
Airconditioning is loud, I guess all are in Brazil, since they are not using splitter devices. AC is only in the bedrooms, which we felt was enough.
There is a good bakery one block towards the beach, European style bread. And a very nice coffee shop as well. The main shopping road is two blocks away toward the beach.
