The apartment is almost perfect! The location is great, you are 100m (maybe less) from the beach, and very close to Ipanema. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, everything was clean and well organized. Maria Luiza is also a great host, very flexible and will do as much as possible to help. The shower box is a bit tiny, but ok, and you will have to turn off the AC to take a shower, due to the age of the building and its electrical issues. Other than that it is great. Will definitely come back and stay there.
