First it is a Hotel, not an apartment. And it is between Copacabana and Ipanema on the foot of a Hill of a Favela (not really a problema, tale cab at night cuz it is dangerous, but the view is wonderful). The complaint about noise - 3 other guests were at the place, because we where the with a baby of 16 month (which they accepted airbnb) who was doing regular baby stuff, laughing, running, crying. No problem though with the funky Party till 7 am in the neighborhood... They told us they only accept children from 16 up, but I put in airbnb the age of my baby and actually asked for bed for him, and there were no restrictions... And they complained on our check out day, unnecessary otherwise I would have left with a much more positive experience. The rooftop with the pool is awesome and the breakfast was delicious. The Staff in general very friendly, but when you do a mistake don't bother your guests with it.
