what an incredible play to stay in ipanema. 2 blocks from the beach! a quiet street but lots of restaurants, cafes, bars and shopping outside the door. the best part about this airbnb are the amenities the building provides. incredible rooftop pool, restaurant, concierge, sauna, hot tub and more. we arrived and the building staff took all of our bags up to the apartment, and even walked us to the ATM because it was late at night and all the way down in the subway. even though the checkout is early in the morning, they will hold your bags and you will still have access to the building during the day. made catching my late night flight SO EASY. i will never stay anywhere else in rio.
