The apartment was very well maintained. The host made sure we had clean towels and linens on a weekly basis. The apartment has all the amenities, including a washer and dryer, so I was able to cleans my socks and gym clothes easily. I was impressed with dressers and cabinet designs and how much storage was available for my clothes and things. The location is perfect just a few blocks from the Ipanema Beach. The area is surrounded by stores, grocery stores, and walking distance from the mall. The apartment building it also well maintained and cleaned daily. I will certainly stay here again.
