Armandos team was excellent. To start they let us check in early on our date of arrival. We were greeted promptly and given a brief tour of the place. There is very handy binder with all kinds of information about the area. The place was as expected. The main bedroom was spacious and had the smaller of the two bathrooms. The second bedroom is a nice size but it is a sectioned off area of the livjng room not a room with proper walls. It is sectioned off nicely though and private enough. While it was not a problem for me some may want to know this. The second room has close access to the big bathroom. The kitchen and living room were great and had looked just as great in person.
The location could not be any more ideal. You are right in the middle between Copacabana and Ipanema. You are steps away from either Ipanema beach or Copacabana beach. There are plenty of places to eat and have fun near by as well.
