Good for short stays. If you are looking for a clean and nice place close to the Ipanema beach this can work . The place needs a bit of maintenance for example the shower head was very old and didn't work properly so no relaxing shower. And the box shower was very old too. The kitchen is not very inviting for cooking as not many appliances offered, so if you are okay eating out often the place works ! the building is safe with 24hrs reception. You have to leave your key every time you go out, the guys working in the building were very nice.
