The apartment is ubicated above a restaurant , since every morning you will have many smells from the kitchen. Also we had to sign a contract with the owner that establishes many fines for other things that are not established on air bnb so you are really controlled and really limits your trip, it happened that during our staying the owner went in the apartment to put an advertisement of something that is prohibited , this was really a disrespect for us. I wish i could reccomend this but this is not a tipical air bnb home , this is only a person that wants money and only that he does not care about your staying and your needs , no one should come to this apartment in ipanema as he can ruin your trip really. The wifi connection works really bad for 7 people there should be more connection for the number of people that can be staying.
