I stayed at Giovanni's apartment for a few months over the summer. The apartment is excellent, very modern as it's newly refurbished, the split AC in both bedroom and living area works perfectly, absolutely not noisy.
There is very fast fiber optic internet which was critical for my stay.
the bathroom is very modern too with a great shower.
I had friebds visiting a few times and the sofa bed was big and comfortable.
if you need to work from the apartment, there is a desk in the bedroom and also space to setup the laptop in the living area next to the window.
communication with Giovanni was excellent and his assistant Victor was always available and really helpful with anything I needed.
The location is also very handy, 100 Mrs from Copacabana beach and 400 MTs from Ipanema.
I definitely recommend this apartment as it's all modern, comfortable, good location, well setup for remote work and excellent support from Giovanni and Victor.
