The place is gorgeous. Roberta is an interior designer and it clearly shows in her apartment. it is very functional, aestetically beautiful, and everything is high quality (from small details like the drawer sliders to the the large array of kitchen utensils).
The bed is very comfortable. It was great having a water filter in the apartment so you don't need to go buy drinking water. The apartment is keyless so one less thing to lose at the beach. The wifi was fast and reliable so great for home office. The AC can cool the apartment down very quickly. The street is quiet but very close to the beach and restaurants in Ipanema.
Roberta was very responsive, was able to accommodate an early check in and check out, helped me with a cleaning service, along with a number of other questions I had.
