Simple place with very comfortable bed and very nice/accommodating host.
Location is so so for Ipanema. It's on a street that's near to an entrance to a favela so not ideal, but like everything in Zona Sul you aren't far from good spots and there are some great restaurants just around the corner.
Had some issues with the water heater, difficult to use. Internet was ok overall but I did have some issues on a couple of Zoom calls. The apartment is also a bit noisy. There was construction in another apartment a couple of the days (not their fault, of course), but the walls are pretty thin so you can hear the neighbors easily.
