Overall an enjoyable stay. Gerson was a helpful and welcoming host. The apartment was in an ideal location and in a friendly building. Good value for money in a fantastic area of an amazing city.
Pros
- Very clean on arrival. Air con was reliable, towels provided and shower/toilet worked
- Great location - very close to Ipanema and Copacabana. The building and neighbourhood felt very safe. The building has a 24-hour guard.
- Quiet. Window not near a main road, and no noise from neighbours. My partner and I managed to sleep through a major storm.
- Wifi was very good, not the case across Brazil
Cons
- Very small kitchen with limited appliances. No kettle, no proper oven and we had to light one hob with a match
- The sink was worryingly slow in draining and leaked at the bottom. No hot water at the sink either.
