With windows opened, the apartment has a cooling ocean breeze. Dining room, living room, kitchen, and service area. Master bedroom suite with bathroom. Three of the bedrooms and the living room have a gorgeous view of the beach (see photo at left) and have ceiling fans and air conditioning. The fourth bedroom is the former maid´s quarters, which has a ceiling fan. It also has its own bathroom and shower, all very nicely remodeled. All beds have new high quality mattresses. The building has 24-hour security and a gated entrance.
Great temperatures all year round (June to August: 21-30 degrees C / 70-86 degrees F; September to May: 24-35 degrees C / 75-95 degrees F).

Piedade Beach and Boa Viagem Beach form one single 7-mile-long beach. From Edifício Marlin, there is a sidewalk that extends north the entire 7-mile length of the two beaches. Typically at high tide people use the side walk, at low tide, many walk on the beach itself.

Bob, an American, is a former Peace Corps Volunteer who served in Brazil, and is a retired school counselor who founded "Students Helping Street Kids International", a nonprofit that provides scholarships to impoverished Brazilian kids.
