Great location and the apartment looked very new and modern. The TV was excellent and the space was comfortable for the stay.

The reservation was for 3 guests, but there were not enough towels or bed linens for everyone. Also, the apartment was quite dusty when we arrived.

Localização, comunicação com o proprietário!

La ubicacion del lugar es excelente. Muy cerquita de la playa, al lado hay un supermercado con todo lo necesario, farmacia, etc. El dpto muy moderno y muy comodo.

Eramos 4 y nos habian dejado solo la cama matrimonial preparada y solo dos toallas (osea para dos personas). Luego de hablar con el anfitrion, nos dejaron una bolsa con sabanas para armar el sillon y dos toallas más. Se resolvio, pero tuvimos que insistir, las primeras dos noches dormimos sin sabanas en el sillon. Me hubiera gustado una respuesta más rapida.

I enjoyed how the apartment was newly refurbished. It was equipped with two large TVs which was good, especially as I was staying during F1 weekends and the World Cup. Decent location - very close to Ipanema beach!

I feel that this room focused a lot on ‘looking’ good, rather than functionality. Firstly, having a washing machine but not providing washing up powder/pods was a first for me. Same with not providing cooking utensils (knives, stirring spoons). While the apartment was nicely decorated, I felt that simply providing a white sheet as a duvet and a blue blanket did not suffice. It is winter in Brazil, after all. I am 5 ft 4 and the bed was very small, too. Also, walls in this building are paper thin. I heard the conversations, sneezes and phone calls of people in other apartments. A few mornings (and on a Sunday!) there was some sort of construction going on in an adjacent room; the sounds were deafening. I couldn’t even leave the apartment as it was raining. I sent a voice note of the loud sounds to the host, and she just said she will find out and…didn’t get back to me. I don’t expect her to stop the construction, of course. This was unfortunately a running theme throughout my stay. I’d ask a question and either get no response or days in-between my response. There did not seem to be any level of customer service: it really did feel like she was simply providing a bed to stay and no more. However, she did let me check out a little later at 2pm…but I had to pay 50BRL to keep my luggage there.
