I’m a digital nomad and live out of Airbnbs so I’ve stayed at a number of different places all over South America. And my experience here was mixed. Here’s why:
Pros: Location was great. Daily cleaning was also wonderful. Host was super responsive and very helpful. Also great there’s a doorman so you feel safe.
Cons: Apartment was very outdated. Bed was really hard and not comfortable. Shower was also horrible, like it desperately needs maintenance. There was construction during the day, which as you can imagine totally sucked.
The main issue was the photos make it seem way bigger than it is. So it would be fine if you’re a solo traveler, but for a couple it was tight. We also found it way overpriced, maybe because it was the holidays but still.
Overall I would recommend it if you’re looking for a good location close to Ipanema beach, eating out every night and just need a place to crash for a few nights while you’re on vacay. Would not recommend for longer stays or working.
