Armando was friendly and generally I enjoyed working with him and his staff. They were very flexible with early check in and late check out due to my flight schedule (red eye both ways).

The pictures are somewhat accurate-- different in that they don't reflect the significant wear on the chairs in the main living and dining area. When we arrived, the AC was not working and the apartment was humid and mold smelling. I mentioned this to Armando and his staff. I was told 2 days later that someone would come on the 3rd day to fix the AC which did not happen. The technician came on day 4 and said he would come back on day 5 to fix it. I left late in the afternoon on day 5 and he never returned. When I unpacked my clothes after returning home, they were still damp from the humidity in the apartment.

The best part about the apartment was the close proximity to Copacabana and Impanema beaches. It is also very safe and close to grocery stores and restaurants. His support staff are very friendly and helpful. The apartment has really cute features but, it does not seem to be maintained very well and here is ample evidence that the humidity in the apartment is an ongoing problem
