Conoce a Isabella
This review is for the 'Private ensuite' room
Positives:
The location is brilliant, right by the Arpoador with quick access to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.
Isabella does try to provide useful tips and information about the area and events that are going on.
Negatives:
Unfortunately, this listing is extremely misleading. We stayed in the 'Private ensuite' room. From the host's listing, it would seem that this room is part of the same apartment that the other rooms listed are and that the information and pictures are describing. In reality, this room and the 'Double bed room' are in a separate apartment down the road. I didn't see that main apartment, but the one we stayed in could only be described as 'Dated, uncomfortable, cheap-looking, but expensive for it is, Copacabana' rather than the 'Trendy, comfortable, cheap Ipanema' listing it is under.
The host didn't make us aware that we were staying in a separate apartment, nor provide the correct address, so we ended up going to the main apartment. She said this was an oversight, and that she thought she had given me the correct address (after booking) which may well have been, but the situation should not have arisen in the first place.
The listing also said a light breakfast would be provided. No breakfast was provided (unless you count leaving us a loaf of plain bread as breakfast.)
Potential guests should be aware of this and of the following details if considering booking the ensuite room:
The room is on the ground floor right above the entrance to the underground car park for the building. Expect to be woken up on several occasions by the gate beeping and cars going in and out.
If you are over 5'9" you won't be able to stand under the shower without crouching.
The shower is cold.
There is no air-conditioning (the listing doesn't include AC for this room, but still be aware.) There is a ceiling fan but it is very noisy.
The room and bathroom are very small, dated and very basic.
If you want an ensuite room in Rio, there are much better and cheaper options available in my opinion. We had other options, but chose this as we were swayed by the misleading listing.
