We were a group of 10 that stayed here for 8 days. It is quite difficult to find an airbnb that'll accommodate this many people. The fact that this place had six bedrooms and SEVEN bathrooms (one in each bedroom plus a common bathroom with shower) was amazing. It is literally a halfblock from a great part of Ipanema beach as well and so many cute restaurants/bars, and the area always felt safe.
Communication leading up to our stay was great. Gabriel was absolutely wonderful. Our redeye landed at 5:30 AM and he was able to arrange transportation for us and also extremely early check-in where he met us in person with fresh coconuts too (!!). The place is in an old building but quite updated and the place is well-appointed. As others have mentioned, it is two 3-bedroom apartments that were joined into one big unit.
We did have a few minor issues (such as the safe battery dying with some valuables locked in it) but Gabriel was readily available via whats app and helped address these issues promptly. We did pay for laundry service one day and they did a great job, brought it back the next day. FYI no beach towels were available, and there were two hairdryers though they were rather weak. The two fridges are on the small side (but perfect for our purposes) and there is a full-sized freezer.
