Pros: EXCELLENT LOCATION! , approx. 100 meters from two of the most popular beaches in Rio: Copacabana(+-100M) and Ipanema (+-100). Apartment is furnished with utensils. Comfortable bed. Clean and well kept. Rental bike and scooters +-50 m from building. Plenty of places eat, and there is a grocery store +-200m from building.
Cons: Check-in process was a headache. We didn’t receive instructions on how to check-in, and upon arrival we found out that the building manager was not informed of our coming. Owner also forgot to set sheets for second bed, which was solved only after several hours, right before we had to go to bed. Make sure you send owner several emails to double check that this apartment is ready for you. Good for two adults that only stop for resting. Place is very small. Sauna was not working. Parking entrance is very narrow, if you have an SUV or Pick-up you will not be able to get into the parking area. No problem for a compact car.
