Brenda was very responsive and tried to make the check-in as smooth as possible and asked in-between if everything is fine. The view from the apartment is amazing and the vicinity to the beach as well, of course. It's well located in Copacabana with a supermarket around the corner and several options for coffee (Cafeina for example) and dining. Due to the building security guy the building feels safe. W-LAN is very fast and reliable, bathroom is renovated and nice, everything was clean upon arrival...

The apartment is functionally furnished with IKEA furniture and has dishes, cutlery etc... the bed and sofa are not so comfortable (the mattress is quite old) and also the chair could use a new seat cushion... while I was there there was not just the expected noise from the sea and the traffic from the large street Avenida Atlantica but also some heavy construction work going on in the apartment above during the day and in front of the building on the beach for Olympia at night - but I guess that is temporary. The regular street noise is really high though as well (from traffic and a local night market in front of the building) and the windows more a cosmetic noise barrier, so nothing for noise-sensitive people ;-).

The view from the window and the closeness of the beach compensates for a lot, though the pricing might be a bit high considering the not so high quality of the interior / furniture... all in all I'd say it's a great "beach vacation" apartment for young people who are out a lot and don't mind about the noise...
