Had a great time, 6 of us, two kids age 2 and 3, two other relatives all fit nicely and comfortably. Loved that all the windows had full child proof netting and cross bars to prevent climbing out. 24 hour doormen.
The apt was very clean, quiet almost no noise, didn’t see any bugs for our 5 day stay and we had fruits, lots of natural light, AC in all rooms, though one room’s AC was not working properly, Cynthia immediately fixed the problem. Kitchen was fully functional with a coffee machine which we used everyday. Big plus that there was a separate entrance (beach days) and a 3rd toilet, which was a nice surprise. Washing machine was a huge plus, esp with kids. Do bring/buy an adopter as all the outlets have the almost straight line 3 prong in case you need to charge a phone or laptop. WiFi was great, never got disconnected or felt slow.
The location couldn’t be more perfect, nestled on a quiet street between two loud bustling streets. Within a two block walking radius, access to supermarkets (more than one), restaurants, stores, pharmacy, bars, taxis, buses and Ipanema beach. Copa beach about a 10 minute walk.
Cynthia was an amazing host and very accommodating. She stayed in communication at all times and was a little flexible when she could with our check-in and check-out times. She also provided us milk for the kids when we arrived and offered a crib if we needed, which we didn’t. She went out of her way to make sure we were safe and taken care of. Thank you Cynthia! Highly recommend her place.
