Carlo's place was nice and would definitely stay again. The apartment was cozy and had everything we needed, although the kitchen can only accommodate one person at a time. The internet was great, the bed was comfortable and the ACs worked just fine. No view of anything but the adjacent building. The location was outstanding, close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The communication with Carlos was very good. The only downside was some slight confusion on check in. The doorman had no clue who we were and we weren't sure if we were at the right place. Someone did come pretty quickly to give us the key. Also, someone was supposed to meet us at 9:30am for checkout but didn't showed up. We had bus tickets leaving and were not sure about removing the trash. We also left a small rolling bag if anyone that wanted it. We wanted to talk to someone about it at checkout. Carlo tried to contact us that afternoon thinking we had left it by mistake. Overall it was a very nice stay.
