Great place! Location is in my favorite area of Ipanema. It was great for me to walk in either direction and be at the beach or the lagoa in 4-6 mins. Bedroom has a tv with several global stations w/ subtitles if needed. Internet did not cause any issues during my daily video conference calls. The water drains in the sink/ shower immediately. Shower gets hot and has good water pressure. Eduardo provided brand new kitchen sponges, soap, espresso pods + espresso machine as well as cooking essentials. The linens are soft and smell great! Excellent black out shades in the bedroom keep the room pitch black. Lastly, the balcony is great and provides a secondary place to take calls when working from a computer all day. The street and bars/ restaurants downstairs are lively during the weekends. You can hear the city buzzing below although it didn’t bother me considering I was out enjoying the city during those times myself. I’d definitely stay here again!
