The apartment is in a great location, very central area within Ipanema, easy to walk to all destinations, very close to metro stations, Lagoa, the beach, shops and restaurants.
The living room and main bedroom are very spacious with lots of space for your belongings. The second bedroom (which I did not use) is very small, so if sharing with another person this could be an issue (it doesn’t look as small in the pictures).
There was an issue with the stove and gas during my stay, but I asked the host to fix the problem after I checked out so it didn’t interrupt my travel plans. The kitchen has a microwave and sandwich press and lots of other appliances so preparing food was still fine.
There is only air conditioning in the bedrooms, and it is very noisy so it made it difficult to sleep. The kitchen was a little dirty when I arrived, the floor was greasy and the plates and bowls were put away wet and many of them still dirty. The wifi was very unreliable, often it didn’t even work.
