We enjoyed staying at Virginia's place!
First, the good: the location is great. It is very close to Ipanema and great bars/restaurants. The view of the city and Christ the Redeemer is lovely. The design and decor of the apartment is very nice. Clearly some love and thought went into designing the apartment. The apartment has a door man and felt very secure and safe.
The not-so-good: Starting the first day we arrived and lasting throughout our seven day stay, there was construction taking place in the building next door. This consisted of drilling and hammering from 9 AM until 5 PM every day. While I understand this somewhat out of the control of the host, it made lounging in the apartment difficult.
The master bedroom is quite comfortable, but the bed in the second bedroom is, in my opinion, not suitable for adults. It was rock hard and really uncomfortable. Since it was only my girlfriend and I staying at this location, we only used this bedroom to store our suitcases, but I would hesitate to rebook at this location with more than 2 people because of this bed.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend the apartment to future guests, with the caveats I mentioned above.
