Wow! What a great place to stay! The views are amazing! The other guests are great too, and there is really nice little beach just down the hill with really clear and clean water. The room itself was also very clean and comfortable, and when you wake up, you just open the curtains and BAM...What a view! The room also has a large shower and a sizable kitchen where you can make breakfast or even a nice plate of pasta. As for the location, you can't beat it...just around the corner from LeBlon and another amazing beach...along the way, you can also stop for a caipirinha at the Mirante Bar...another amazing view of the entire Ipanema Beach! Finally, Jake is a great host and can give you some great ideas on things to do in the Marvelous City of Rio! Enjoy!
