Excellent location in a premium area of Ipanema. Building has services that you will not find in a typical Airbnb rental: housekeeping, maintenance people, 24hrs doorman, small gym and pool. Restaurant located in the building is a top Portuguese one but we did not have time to go.
We had some small issues in terms of maintenance. Faucets were stuck probably because of rust caused by proximity to the ocean. Maintenance guys were able to fix it. Other small maintenance issues were communicated to the owner to improve experience. There was one issue with a cracked toilet seat (that happened before our stay) that could have been better managed in terms of communication. Overall an excellent choice of apartment which I recommend for those who want the convenience of daily housekeeping in a prime location in the heart of Ipanema. Close to excellent restaurants. Walking distance to the beach. Thanks!
