Great stay with SPECTACULAR views. Stayed here a month and was able to work remote with no issues with the internet. Easy check-in and quick communication from both Ivan and co-host Fred. Close to major grocery and convenience stores, and a 10 min walk to Copacabana beach. A few things to be aware of:
The location is at the peak of a hill so be prepared to do some walking. Not too much of a problem for someone who is able bodied, but makes sure to tell your Uber or Taxi the exact location because you will not want to carry your luggage up that hill.
The area may have a power outage. I had a couple outages happen during my stay with the longest one being for about 3 hours. Fred the co-host was great in keeping me up to date on when power would be restored.
There were a lot of ants in the kitchen. I was able to find the cracks that they were coming out of and sprayed them. After a few days there were less and less of them. Make sure to wash all your dishes and not leave any food out overnight.
Overall a great stay!
