Had a decent stay at this Airbnb. Good communication. Apartment was clean. General location is in Ipanema, which is a plus. But for future Airbnbers -- please note that this apartment is two stories above a very loud bar that is often loud enough to keep you awake until midnight, and on Tuesdays, until 4AM. Additionally the apartment is located a block away from a large favela. While I didn't have any personal security issues, I would have liked to know these two facts before I rented -- and neither were clear in the Airbnb listing when I rented. Overall it was all fine -- just would have appreciated these details to inform my decision to rent here or not.
