My stay here was wonderful. Something that's not visible in the pictures is that the apartment has a bunch of cool nooks and "secret" spots: an attic for extra sleeping room, a hidden walk-in closet, and an isolated laundry room. The balcony view is also more fantastic than I expected. The apartment also happens to be located on the busiest street in Ipanema, with a bunch of shops and restaurants, with people walking around at all times of day and night, which gives a sense of extra assurance and security. The hosts are lovely as well and communicative. I would absolutely recommend!
