Mixed bag. I stayed 2 weeks around New Years while working remotely after the holiday.
The positives first. The location is nice being less than a block from Copacabana beach and not a far walk from Aporador and beginning of Ipanema beach. The apartment itself is just a studio with a small loft where the bed is. The place was clean and doormen were all nice enough. There was a small but big enough desk for computer and Wi-Fi was great while I was working remotely and the kitchen had all you need for cooking.
The a/c did not work very well. During the heat of the day, the a/c barely drops the temperature and humidity to a bearable level. It is a old building and not sealed very well maybe that explains it. When window is “closed” you can clearly see gaps. Because it isn’t sealed very well you hear a lot of traffic from the street As of my stay, there were lots of ants and I learned quickly not to leave any finished drinks or food around or would wake up with plenty of ants all around.
