We were shocked of the sheer level of noise in the construction site right next to us. The listing does say that there is a construction site but we felt that this is not enough to warn you about the level of noise. There was an excavator jack hummer breaking bricks of stones right outside in front of us starting at 8am all day. Only one day it stopped in the afternoon. You can't stay in the flat while the work is ongoing. We stayed from the 8th till the 12th of Jan 2023 so do double check that the excavator is no longer onsite before you book. The flat itself is a studio style. We thought it needed some modernisation especially that the photos depict a swanky swimming pool with a pretty modern interior. No you are not going to get that. There was a pod coffee machine which was nice. The neighbourhood is in the Arpoador area/Copacabana. it's not the quietest neighbourhood but it's close to the beach. We preferred Ipanema over this area
