Great location in Ipanema. The apartment is very small and the desk in the bedroom is not conducive to working from home. Everything was functional and the kitchen appliances were new. The apartment is probably better for short-term stays or someone who doesn't need to work from home. It also was not possible to change the temperature in the shower which was frustrating at times. Claudia is a great host - she even updated the speed of the WiFi for me during my stay.
