A decent place to stay for a couple of days, however, not for more. The mixer battery in the shower doesn't supply hot water, and when the shower is on, all the electricity in the flat dims, the mattress is of poor quality and doesn't offer any sleep comfort, the two nightstands are infested with drywood termites, the walls are paper thin, the flushing of the toilet doesn't work properly, the air-conditioner is directed straight on to the bed (which is irritating when asleep), and the entrance door doesn't seem to offer much safety. The area of Copacabana is alright, but precautions need to be taken. The flat is about a 7 minute walk to the metro station. There are many supermarkets in the area and a shopping mall is in the vicinity as well.
