Nice and cozy apartment in a safe neighborhood just one block away from the Ipanema beach. You'll be in the close proximity to the various shops, cafes and supermarkets. If you are looking for a long stay then this place is a perfect choice. There is a good washing machine (rarely the case in Rio) and plenty of kitchen utensils. Both rooms have ceiling fans if you don't like air conditioning. There is also nice collection of books if you are into reading. Stuart is a very attentive host and easy to reach over WhatsApp. The internet connection was fast and stable. Also worth mentioning that there is no traffic noise. Definitely recommended
