We like the apartment. Ghizlane was very nice to explain everything about the apartment. She was available when we arrived as we set before the arrival.
The location of the apartment was what we liked the most. Close to the best part of Ipanema, the beach, restaurants, cafés, shopping area, Lagoa, subway.
The only thing that is that the first night there some cockroaches between the kitchen and living room as well as a little mice in one of the bedrooms. Next day I contacted Ghizlane that promise to put some poison in the apartment next day since it was Sunday.
As promised, she came on Monday and left the poison in some of the corners of the apartment.
After, we didn't have any "visitors" there.
If you have a big suitcase remember there is no elevator in the building, as informed by the host, and the apartment is on the 3rd floor.
