The best thing about this rental apartment is the location. The building is just accross the road separating the Copacabana beach. There are many eating places along the Avenida Atlantica and on the beach. The apartment does not have a full frontal view of the beach; however, there is a partial view of the beach and the ocean through the window of the dining place of the apartment. The living room and the dining place are fairly well decorated compared to the bed rooms. The bed rooms are clean, however barely furnished and decorated; and rather depressing. The closest are big but musty. The most negative thing about this apartment is that the bathrooms are very small; may be quite uncomfortable for a big person. The apartment has an adequate kitchen, however, it contains rather eclectic collection dishes and glasses and almost to be discarded cheap quality pots and pans. The hostess is very responsive to communication. There was leak in the hot water system during our stay and she had it fixed promptly. Although we had a great difficulty with the language, the doormen were very helpful. We left our luggages security with them before check in and after the check out. Over all we had a pleasant stay at this apartment.
