The apartment is very spacious, with a big balcony upstairs and an amazing view. The furniture is quite old and the place generally feels a bit neglected, but it works for a group of people for a short time. The layout is confusing from the photos, but it's three bedrooms, kitchen and living room downstairs and a big open space with a huge balcony upstairs. Kitchen is large and fully stocked, with space to do laundry as well, although that part of the apartment gets hot during the day. The location is amazing, right in the center of Ipanema, and the building is well taken care of, but it's also pretty strict and has a lot of rules. Natalia is a good host, helpful and communicative. Overall a good space that could use some love.
