The pro's: Lydie and Ghizlane are good hosts. Questions were always answered quickly and in a very friendly way.
The location of the apartment couldn't be better, in the heart of Ipanema. Just a few blocks away you will find the beach, a supermarket (take away) restaurants, bus stops, the big Ipanema shopping street etc.
The apartment is excellent for one person and ok for 2 persons, in my opinion (but I like a bit of space). The bed is fine, but I didn't like the (not so comfortable/ poor quality) pillows...but that's personal of course!
The apartment is nicely decorated, and all you need for your stay will be there (did not miss anything). There is a tv in the living room and the bed room.
On the downside:
Wifi is excellent when you are in te living room, but bad when you are in the bed room.
There is one small aircon in the bedroom, which can only cool the bed room. In the living there is a fan, but can not be cooled by an aircon.
