This was a newly renovated apartment and I was the first to book, so everything there was in great condition. Internet and television worked perfectly, the kitchen had everything in terms of utensils, and some coffee, sugar, and other staples that were provided. The washing machine worked fine There were many electrical outlets but if you need American current make sure you bring convertors. The lighting was excellent, it was easy to read just about anywhere, unlike many apartments where it can be a struggle. It is located on a busy street so there can be some traffic noise, but otherwise the location is great! A few steps from the metro, and great shops, restaurants and beach nearby. The air conditioners were quiet compared to what I can often find in Brazil, my only problem is that I could never seem to be able to adjust them as I wanted, they seemed to be on a timer and would always shut off, I should have asked Fabi, he was great with responding. Great 24 hour security.
