Charles made booking and arrival very easy and responded very promptly to all questions. He also made himself available in case any problems arose, but none did.

The apartment is well-situated in Ipanema. You'll have access to a subway stop, a grocery store, a gym and many restaurants all within a 4-5 minute walk. The beach is also very accessible. Taxis are plentiful.

The apartment is air conditioned, well-furnished and clean. There is a front desk staff. They do not speak much English but are very helpful where they can be.

I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Ipanema.
