The apartment was very nice with a great view of Ipanema Beach. The neighborhood where the apartment is located is very close to Metro, restaurants, grocery, beaches, and pubs - a truly excellent location.

We had some issue with Wifi and hot water when we arrived but they were quickly resolved after contacting Carolina. We also had a minor issue checking into to the apartment when we arrived but this was also resolved in short time. Be aware that the reception speaks limited English, but this is easily resolved with Google Translate :) Erika at the front desk is very nice.

The apartment is cleaned every day once you leave your key with the front desk, which was a very nice surprise and air conditioning works very well (although it is loud as another reviewer mentioned).

All in all a very nice apartment in a fantastic location for your trip to Rio!
