This apartment is a gem! The beach access was amazing and we fell in love with the neighborhood. Such cute shops and restaurants and our favorite açaí spot in all of Rio just down the block. We felt completely safe walking around at night, and loved exploring around Ipanema. The Lago (lake) is also just a few blocks away and we enjoyed running on the path there every day. The apartment itself is stocked with everything we needed, and the furniture seemed almost brand new. We ate dinner on the roof a few nights and had a perfect view of the ocean and sunset. Would recommend this place to anyone!
