Location Location Location! Not to mention, super cool, modern apartment with updated bathrooms and kitchen. The bedroom I got had an incredibly comfortable bed with tons of comfy pillows and a strong A/C, which was much appreciated. The window faced the street and some normal city noise could be heard but I still was able to rest. I also was a bit surprised to see other AirBnbers in the other 2 rooms, but that may have been my fault for not reading the description well. Either way, the stay was super comfortable, the cleaner kept common places tidy and it is literallt 1 block from Ipanema beach. And 1 block in the other direction brings you straight to tons of cafes, stores, restaurants and bars. Really made my trip great!
