This apartment is a hidden gem that is situated between Ipanema and Copacabana. Practically everything you need is within 5 minutes walking - stores, restaurants, metro- and, of course, the famous beaches. Getting an Uber from this location is also very good. The building is a very quiet and secure residential building, with friendly staff. Very clean and quiet with a nice full bed (next to a large window) and a good bathroom. The owner, Salviano, is amazing! Attentive, very friendly and responsive, he met me outside the building upon my arrival, welcomed and greeted me warmly, and helped me with my tons of luggage to the apartment. In short: he rolled out the red carpet treatment. It was also reassuring that he lived close by in the event if there was ever an issue or problem: just text, or message and he would respond. Highly recommend this apartment for solo travelers, or a couple, looking for a quiet, clean building centrally located.
