Location location location. The location was amazing! Frankly, this apartment is perfectly situated on the main road in Ipanema and two blocks from the beach. We could not have been happier!!!
There was a doorman 24/7 who always greeted us with a smile and who would check in our guests and hold packages for us while we shopped. The apartment came fully equipped with towels, sheets, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, plates, glasses, a big fridge, freezer, washing machine,microwave, three air conditioning units, lots of closets to hang/store items, wifi, etc.
While, I never met Denise, she always responded very quickly to all of my emails, and she had two people looking in on us who made themselves available 24/7 via WhatsApp for any and all issues. For example, we had an issue with the toilets (our fault...apparently in Brazil you can't put toilet paper in the toilets), but the host's helpers got them fixed ASAP!!!
Not to mention we arrived super early and they were there waiting to check us in, and they allowed us a late check out.
I would highly recommend this apartment. Don't think twice!!!
