Marco was very welcoming and available whenever needed and the apartment was as shown in the pictures. It is equipped with everything needed, a washer machine and basic dishes. Beds and bathroom were good, no complaints...
Building is nice and well located, close to subway station, supermarkets and various bars / restaurants of Ipanema.
The only bad surprise was the noise... The apartment is facing some kind of community / favela and there seems to be a club or something, plus cocks crowing at various hours of the day (and night, unfortunately)... It was a bit annoying especially when you need to sleep or work from home.
