Overall we had a really nice stay at this apartment. It was a simple setup but in a good location if you want to stay closer to Ipanema where there are a lot of good restaurants near Parque Nossa Senhora de la Paz, stores, a supermarket right nearby, and a fairly short walk to Ipanema Beach.
Check in and check out was seamless with a doorman to get into the apartment and Solange was responsive through WhatsApp. We had some slight issues with the water heater but they were resolved quickly and we've made the recommendation to Solange to provide written instructions to make that easier to use.
