If there were 26 stars for location, I would select them all. On top of that, Stuart was in communication with us and made check-in a breeze, which was important for two people who traveled 22 hours and just wanted to rest when we arrived.
The biggest star was Luiz, the property manager. He was an excellent resource for how things function in the building and local hotspots. I can honestly say in the end I could count him as a friend.
Whatever you need, this place has it. There are 3 walkable supermarkets, Ipanema beach is just around the corner, and the two local parks have markets every few days so you can pick up gifts and artwork at a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
Don’t miss the chance to book with Stuart. You won’t remember my name, but you’ll find yourself thanking me anyway!
