I highly recommend this place ideally located a quick walk from both Copacabana AND Ipanema Beaches. 15 minute walk to the General Osório / Ipanema Metro Station. A couple blocks to a grocery store and a little place for empadão, coffee and juice across the street. A beautiful farmers market at Praça General Osório on Tuesday and a crafts market on Sunday.
The apartment was a great value for the money: spotless and quiet and exactly as described with a comfortable bed, plenty of closet space, all the kitchen equipment you could need, a place to do your laundry (a rack to dry as is typical outside the U.S.) and filtered water. Loved the hammock to cool off after spending time at the beach.
Marcus was easily reached by messaging and was quick to replace a hair-dryer that was broken.
Check-in and out were super flexible with a key-pad lock (no key to keep track of). And the front desk was manned 24 hours so it was easy and safe to get in and out of the building throughout the day.
