I want to first start by saying this location was EVERYTHING! We were literally steps away from the beach. The place was very modern and spacious. No complaints there. However, there was a REALLY BAD mosquito problem. We had to go out and buy repellant and plug-ins to help mitigate the situation. I immediately alerted the host about this and they simply responded: "if you had warned us about this we would have gotten an exterminator." I was a little taken aback, because how was I supposed to know there was a mosquito situation if I had just arrived? Nonetheless, they did not provide a remedy nor reimbursed us for the repellant(s). Thankfully the location and proximity to Ipanema restaurants, nightlife, and the beach made up for it. I would definitely recommend it, but they should definitely ensure that the mosquito problem is taken care of.
