This property is well-located two blocks from Ipanema beach near a Metro stop and taxi stand. There are plenty of nearby stores and restaurants. The apartment, however, is located in an older building. And while the bathrooms and kitchen look recently renovated, the hardwood floors could use some refinishing and the entire apartment could use better furnishings, artwork and more remote controls for the three A/C units. On the positive side, the host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a nice property but a little over priced for what it offers.
