Marcio’s apartment looks to have been renovated not too long ago. AC mini split works great, refrigerator works, water heater works, building elevators (I believe there are 4) all worked. stove and washer/dryer seemed to work, but i didn’t personally use them. Building security is professionally staffed 24/7. Bradesco bank and supermarket is around the corner, and for those who care, yes, the beach is across the street, 2 min walk at most! The view from the building is accurate as per the posting. Enjoy!
