The apartment is well located on the right end of ipanema, near Copacabana and is just as it appears in the photos. It’s small but cheerfully decorated and has plenty of space for you to store clothing and toiletries. It’s on the second floor facing the street, next to a small hospital so you do get some street noise after 6am but if I kept the ceiling fan on it helped drown most of that out. Check in was easy and I stayed for around a month. I did have some issues with small ants in the bathroom which is not unusual I suppose for the climate, and the air conditioner broke for several days while I was there which led to me moving out. Fernanda seemed annoyed and defensive when I contacted her about those issues and we did not communicate in a positive way. I understand having to deal with such things is annoying - which is why I personally would only post my apartment on Airbnb if I had the patience and temperament for it.
