I'll start the review with the minor inconveniences first:
- The stairs leading to the top floor were a little narrow which make taking luggage up a bit of a hassle.
- Although all rooms have AC, the living rooms have only fans which aren't enough in hot days (most of the time).
- The balcony and small pool area can use more lighting.
As for the pros:
- Very roomy apartment, enough to sleep 8 comfortably. (Beds+ couch+ mattress ont he floor).
- Necessary appliances were all available, plus a polite maid that is available on call.
- Location was very convenient with access to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches just a short walk away.
- Most buses pass in front of the Aparthotel and the metro is less than 15 minutes away.
- Communication with Wolfgang was very practical & clear and he replied to all of our inquiries in a timely manner.
All in all I recommend this apartment if you're staying with a group and would like a place that's close to the main beaches but not in the middle of the touristy side.
