I was disappointed. The description of the apartment and pictures are misleading. This is advertised as a "Private Suite Penthouse Ipanema!!!!" but it is not a penthouse in the most commonly accepted sense of this word. Roberto says it is, as 18th floor is the highest floor accessible with elevator, but you have to know that you have no direct access to the roof from the apartment (only the neighboring apartment has got rooms on the 19th).
Two pictures show a gym and a terrace on the roof, saying there are "side by side" to the apartment. This is false. In order to go to the roof, you have to go into the main corridor, then climb stairs until 19th floor , and then at the gate, ring the doorman who is on 1st floor and negotiate with him in Portuguese so that he lets you go in. That might work if you clearly say you want to make a picture and will not go to the gym. Since a few weeks, it has been decided by the owners of the building that temporary guests would not been allowed to get to the gym. It is a pity that pictures and comments have not been changed.
Also, the view from the apartment is not the nice view of Ipanema you have on airbnb , it is a direct view on the favelas, which is ok for me but that should clearly be said.
Nevertheless, this apartment has a lot of qualities and I could have spent a nice time there (price, good location, safe, very well equipped, lot of space...). The only problems were the wifi (did not work during the 2 last days out of 5 days- Roberto asked me to check with the neighboring apartment where the router is. Not easy as the guests were always out of the apartment and when a technician came, he could fix the wifi in the other apartment but not in mine, so I had to go to St**cks 6 times) and the shower (old, door very dirty, which is not acceptable as they charge more than 66 euros of cleaning fees).
