Good apartment, 4 blocks to Ipanema‘s main street. What I missed was a closet to hang my clothes, there is only very limited space for that. And: There is a lot of street noise (cars, dogs barking, constant commotion) plus you can hear the people next door talk - bring earplugs if you want to have a good rest. Washing machine/dryer is shared with the rental apartment next door. Upon departure, you are required to plan in time to run your bed sheets and towels in the 15-minute-cycle of the washing machine and then press the button for drying - otherwise, it stated, an extra cleaning fee would be charged. I found that to be a bit weird.
