I stayed one month at the apartment and was Elaine´s first airbnb guest. After we had managed some booking problems, I had a very good overall experience. For the price of BRL 8000/EUR 1800 for December (including Christmas and New Years Eve) I got a very well equipped place at a good and safe location. There is enough space for four people. One room has an ensuite bathroom with bath tub. The doormen downstairs were friendly. The metro station is a 5 min walk and the beach a 10 min walk away.
The apartment is a bit dark as the windows are facing a wall. And I would have liked to have a quieter AC. But I can recommend to stay at the place.
