Good: The place is quite clean, newly renovated and geographically OK located between Copacabana and Ipanema.
Bad: Apartment is on the first floor in the deepest and darkest corner of “U” shaped buliding. There is not fresh air circulation and no sun getting into the apartment. Thus it is too dark and wet inside. The most of our clothes would not get dry and started to smell bad after. Then we noticed mold on many of our clothes including winter items that we never wore after arrival to Rio.
Noise problem- The apartment has a backyard with plastic roof above. And all air conditioners from apartment above have condesate droping on that roof and floor of backyard (one of the reasons it is so wet). Noise at night was like somebody was hammering the nails into it.
Furniture and bed linens felt cheap and poor quality. Mold inside wardrobe drawers too.
Conclusion: If you are staying for couple of days this place might be ok for you, but i would not recommend it for longer periods.
