Disappointed, this is the most accurate description... I think most of the reviews are not related to the particular apt.
Leaky windows, it was windy on the first night and the windows were banging in combination with fifty years old aircon system the noise kept us awake all night. To be fair Luisa tried to fix the issue and maintenance guy put some more carboard in the holes to prevent windows from banging and we got a fan so don't have to put noisy aircon on.
The décor is dated but we were ok with that, no problem as you can see from pics but all the kitchen utensils were cracked, scraped pans, holes, in our world that would be binned long time ago. The worst issue were ants running around the kitchen. We only stayed few days and put some biscuits in the cupboard which we had to bin as the ants were everywhere.
The place is absolutely spotless, cleaners do amazing job to clean and scrub but you can't clean holes and cracks.
To summarize, no aircon, as this system is not efficient, no washing machine (paid laundry 2 washing machines and 1 dryer for the whole block so we took all day trying to sort our laundry), not functional kitchen.
Luisa tried to address the issues we got the fan, carboard bits stuck in the window and maintenance guy coming to say, yes, there are insects and we need to spray the place. We also got 50ml cups so we could get ourselves a micro tea.
On the high side, the place has beautiful views and it's located close to Ipanema beach. With some upgrades or adjusted price tag it could be a good place to stay.
