I really enjoyed staying at this apartment. it was really quiet on old though the building was older it was very nice with a lot of nice touches that over time made me realize how comfortable the apartment was. department really had everything in the end and that's what I think makes a really nice stay. things as simple as a nice bar soap and water filtration and a nice place to sit with nice lighting those little things make an apartment seem more like your own place. and also nearby there are a lot of places to grab a bite to eat and being so close to the metro is also convenient. it's not a place to stay to be at the"beach"but it really is only three long blocks away.it is interior when you're considering Copacabana but the area at least feel safe it is surrounded by nice things within a few blocks and in my opinion is better than the other side of Copacabana towards Arcoverde . the bus to eat banana is right outside the door and the bus the other direction is two blocks away towards the beach, and the metro to anywhere is right across the street.The atmosphere is more quiet and comfortable and homey and I was there to spend some time doing some work and reflecting on life and getting some space and in that sense department was really nice and I enjoyed it. it's also nice to have gas in the shower because it always heats up immediately.it takes some time to cool the place off but there are ceiling fans and the air conditioner eventually gets there.again there's a nice new refrigerator water filtration all the pots pans umbrella beach chairs towels linens soap and a washing machine.best recommendation is it it felt like a home-away-from-home small little apartment to hideaway and if I was looking for a small quiet place again I would definitely ask to book here again. also Layla and her mother help to check me in and they were super nice sincere people and very helpful and kind to me and you could tell that they had put some care into this place.
