Brenda's place is fantastic! You cannot beat the location, looking out the window at the Copacabana beach! It's not fancy, but comfortable, private and a great price! I had a little bit of a hard time locating it because I did not have the actual address- which is Rua Bolivar building 8, on the corner of Avenida Atlantica & Rua Bolivar. The entrance is actually on Rua Bolivar, next to Devassa Bar. We felt very safe there and the doorman was very helpful.
