The Good:
- The apartment is in an incredible location within Ipanema.
- Plenty of air conditioning units. One in each room and one in the living room.
- Super fast wifi. Wifi could support 4 people working at the same time.
The Bad:
- The apartment and building itself are infested with bugs. Ants and mosquitoes. Above the washer, there is a window that must remain open at all times which let in tons and tons of bugs.
- Amenities didn't work. There was a broken microwave on the ground of the apartment and the hair dryer didn't work.
- We had to ask multiple times for a house cleaner to come (we stayed for 4 weeks). We finally arranged one and she never showed up.
- The water stopped running in the house one day
- Kitchen wasn't stocked (we had to buy our own supplies)
- We weren't provided with extra sheets or linens
The host was very nice and relatively responsive but this apartment is not suitable for long-term stays.
