Pros:
- Amazing location just a block away from Ipanema beach
- Clean and spacious apartment
- Friendly hosts who were very responsive leading up to the check-in
Cons:
- The beds were satisfactory, but edging on the worn out side and clearly old, with the softness of the mattresses seemingly the result of overused springs.
- The apartment is also in need of some general love. Most of the furniture and and linen doesn't appear to have been changed in a long while. At this price point it's probably fair to expect better quality amenities.
- We were told that the toilet flushes were too weak to take any toilet paper in them, and that we needed to dispose of used toilet paper in the bins. We found this unhygienic and uncomfortable.
Overall we would recommend staying here if you don't mind putting up with the above. Ultimately, it's a spacious apartment in a great location, and if you love the beach as much as we do, you can overlook most things :)
Thanks for having us.
