What I loved:
- Location: STUNNING view, just a walking distance from Copacabana, Ipanema and Arpoador beaches, excellent restaurants, grocery stores, bars, laundry etc nearby
- Size: great for me and my husband (I wouldn't put more than 4 people there, because it's compact)
- Very easy check-in / checkout. Alex is great, super friendly and gave us lots of tips
- Internet worked well for most of the time (it stopped working only briefly)
- The building feels safe
I gave this apartment a 5-star review due to location/value/great host, but there are things that could be improved:
- If the weather is hot, the living room is way too hot even if you leave the balcony door open. AC is only available in the bedrooms.
- Bring good earplugs: AC in the bedrooms is loud; the construction next door is also super loud during business hours
- Washer is not available for guest use (bummer)
- Location is luxurious, but furniture and kitchen supplies are not (plastic, super simple)
