This apartment is in an absolutely beautiful spot in Ipanema, right around the corner from the Lagoa and just a 10 minute walk to the beach, tons of good restaurants around. The place is comfortable, spotlessly clean, and cool with an air conditioning unit for hot days. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is great, with a hot water shower via gas heating and good pressure. Denise is a wonderful host and a lovely person! She's very accommodating, letting us keep our stuff in the room all day on our checkout day and providing us a helpful map of good spots to check out in the neighborhood. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere lovely to come back and relax after a day on the beach or a night out in Zona Sul.
