This is an older type of apartment being extremely well located in a safe part of Ipanema. The bed is excellent & cable TV is present. I would have expected the host to provide some fresh soap & toilet paper which I had to go out & buy. Left over used toiletries & food were present in the bathroom & kitchen which could have been cleaned a little better. For the entire 44 night stay there was hot water only on the 1st night of my stay which is unacceptable. Mix up with the host stating the apartment was available during carnival after initially booking the property when in fact it was not. It’s not disclosed on the air BB website but to collect the keys on arrival & upon leaving you have to travel to the next neighbourhood in Leblon at your expense to drop off the keys. This is extremely annoying & inconvenient even though there is porter present on the property 24 hours a day.
