Levy is a great host, he has tons of advice on what to do, where to go, and how to avoid getting scammed, you can ask him any questions. We spent a lot of time in the apartment studying and working on a long stay, and the apartment is pretty comfortable, kitchen had everything needed, windows that let in light, enough room for everything we needed, there's a washer for laundry with rack and hangers for drying. Over the course of a long stay, the internet is what it is. In a day of meetings, I will sometimes notice it drop for a moment, but then comes right back. Probably not noticeable for most things other than live meetings. Otherwise, absolutely nothing to complain about for us. It's also not a far walk from the metro, super close to Copacabana beach, and also an easy walk to Ipanema beach. Plenty of good food and the grocery store right around the corner.
