The apartment location is ideal since it's located between Copacabana Beach and Ipanema (closer to this beach). I would've preferred a self check-in but the manager was nice.
The actual apartment was clean but lacked modernity. It has a lot of promise and would be a gem if renovated to be more modern. The lack of A/C in the living room made it difficult to work in. Its best to leave the window open to get the natural breeze in.
The towels that were available were old and worn out with stains. I would suggest bringing your own or walking to a local market to purchase.
The main bedroom is a decent size but the secondary bedroom is pretty small with two twins. As for comfort, the mattresses felt stiff and very uncomfortable. I made sure to go to the spa twice during my two week stay.
I would suggest replacing the cushioned toilet seat. I question the hygienics of a cushioned toilet seat and would prefer a plastic seat to prevent germs from being captured.
