Great apartment, well equipped, one block away from Ipanema beach. Not really and outside do, just a little patio but we'll designed and enough light by lots of mirrors.
Hospitality though is a downer. No in check-in formation and respons from host outside office hours for me or airbnb, which caused quite some trouble for me with a flight change that lead to a late arrival on Saturday night.
Impossible to get a second key card for a second guest at the reception. (first time experience)
There was no sleeping stuff for the second guest. We had to improvise the first night.
Extra towels had to be paid for according to cleaning lady. Strict ration on minimal number of towels and renewal twice a week.
To say short, great apartment by location and facilites, but dont expect the usual air Bnb-holiday spirit. Normal requests, which shouldn't be so difficult to realise, are apparantly quite difficult here, which has a negative influence on the holiday experience. Pity, as they are so easy to accomodate.
