I had never been to Ipanema before, but staying at Leo & Archanjo’s apartment made the trip. We were easy walking distance to amazing restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and most importantly the beach! I especially loved the balcony and had coffee out there every morning and a glass of wine most nights, it is so beautiful and relaxing. We felt very safe the whole time, and the doorman added to that feeling of safety, he was also very friendly and helpful which was nice.
We had one small issue with the air conditioner in the second bedroom, but they fixed it immediately. I highly recommend this place and the hosts! If I come back I would stay there again!
