A very nice little flat right between Ipanema and Copacabana! Incredible location which is very walkable and with restaurants all around. We stayed during the time of Carnaval, and it was perfect for accessing all the various activities in the area. There isn’t a beach view from the apartment, as a little hill blocks it, but no problem, since location makes up for that. We had a couple very minor issues during our stay - main one being that the air conditioner in the living area was dripping a large amount of water and creating a pool on the floor. I notified the host. The issue seemed to have been there for a while, since the area on the floor and nearby wall was starting to show signs of mold. Wifi is slow and you have to go through the slow login process each time. Laundry machine is shared with the building staff, who also use it for linen. These are all minor things and overall, the place was great for our time in Rio.
