Great apartment with everything you would need for a beach stay. Cooking facilities, clean, great location with subway next door and supermarkets all around and of course, both beaches are super near. My favourite part of Ipanema in less than ten mins.
Electricity is not included in the rate but despite the heat, I never had to pay as I didn’t go over the daily amount. Its totally acceptable to charge guests as it stops people leaving the air con on all day - which a lot of people do, especially in hotels. If you don’t waste the power, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Felt safe all the time. Great communication and Mike who did the check in was efficient and covered everything. An easy check in, check out and a great stay. Keep doing what you are doing!! Totally recommend this apartment.
