Overall, a really great place and experience! I strongly recommend. I stayed here for three weeks and it was the perfect place.
Positives: Very responsive and communicative host, size of apartment, amenities of apartment, vibe of apartment as it feels like your home, location in Ipanema, building (friendly neighbors, privacy).
Other notes: It was properly disclosed, but water temperature for showers can be temperamental given it takes awhile for water to get hot and to adjust the temperature. Also, small pool is outdoor temperature and not a jacuzzi so didn't end of using it but it was nice to look at.
