The location is excellent, walking distance from trendy restaurants, bars, local boutiques and the legendary Ipanema beach. Silvia was very responsive, and fixed issues in less than 24hrs like a slow drain in the kitchen sink and wifi that we could not connect to. She also brought a portable fan for the small bedroom upon our request. The place was clean but not sparkling clean, there was a thick layer of dust on the living room shelves to the point that the cleaning cloth came up black! I had to clean them because I used these to store my clothes and some personal items. This is the other lowlight, there was no place to store/hang clothes in the master bedroom. The small bedroom had a built in closet but with a musty smell. The building is quite old, the lobby needs to be updated, but the common areas were clean and doormen were helpful. Overall I had a good experience and I would return.
