Rent this apartment during Rio's Carnival 2016... and unfortunately, we are disappointed.
- About Marcia (who is not the owner but a "manager") : has welcome us very briefly... Almost no explanations on Rio, the apartment, the Carnival,... After our stay, we have appreciated that she helped us to recover a forgotten object in the apartment.
- Ipanema is a very busy place during Carnival and we did not feel very safe when going out in the evening or at night (Leblon seems to be better during carnival)
- about our stay, we experienced big troubles with electricity (many power outages when simply using the air-conditioning and the shower). Marcia even called an electrician to fix things because there was no more electricity at all... We have appreciated Marcia's responsiveness but we were very disappointed about this kind of inconvenience.
- the apartment is close to the beach but has no view. Windows give on other apartments so most of the time we kept the curtains closed. There is no coffee machine.
