The view alone was worth every penny. We stayed a full month and it truly felt like a home away from home.
The Host
Eliane was readily available if we had any questions or concerns. We couldn’t get the wifi password to work when we first got to the apartment and she resolved it right away. She’s very attentive and communication was great, from the welcome packet through checkout.
The Space
- The view is SPECTACULAR, with some of the prettiest sunsets. You can see the ocean and beach all the way down to Vidigal and Christ the Redeemer to your right.
- Well equipped kitchen so if you prefer to cook than order you’ll have most of what you need. If you prefer to orders there are tons of restaurants to order from on UberEats and iFood.
- Both of us worked from home and the wifi worked just fine for all our zoom calls. Bonus: the wifi works from the balcony as well if you want to work looking at the ocean
- The apartment is very breezy with ceiling fans as well in the living room and master bedroom. We turned the AC on literally once because of humidity but didn’t need it the rest of the month
- The water shower pressure is *chef’s kiss* which is not always the case in Brazil
- There’s a Smart TV so it was easy to connect Netflix, Amazon, etc.
- I will say there is definitely street noise on occasion, especially on weekends, but this is a lively city and you’re right in the heart of it so it’s to be expected. If you’re sensitive to noise the ceiling fan does help but maybe bring earplugs just in case.
The Building
- We actually did not use the amenities at all but they’re there and we’re as pictured
- The building staff is super friendly and always happy to help. Make sure if you go to the beach or supermarket you come in via the service entry!
- If you call an Uber it will be there in 1-2 minutes so be ready to go
- Very convenient location, just a short walk to either Ipanema or Copacabana. There are supermarkets just 2-3 blocks away as well as little snack shops and bars.
Overall a great experience and we would definitely stay at this apartment again!! Thank you Eliane
