Excellent penthouse in Ipanema! We enjoyed our stay at this rooftop apartment during Carnival 2022 in Rio de Janeiro. Alexandre was a gracious host--meeting us to show us the amenities of the apartment and how to work everything. The apartment is located on the 9th floor of the building (elevator goes to 8th floor, so be prepared to walk the last flight!). It is very close to the Ipanema beaches--nearest to Posto 8. There are many pharmacies, grocery stores, and nice restaurants in the neighborhood. The apartment has two large bedroom suites with plenty of common space, a full kitchen, and a small rooftop pool. At one point, the bedroom air conditioners began to drip condensation inside the rooms--and Alexandre immediately came and fixed the problem completely. We would highly recommend this penthouse apartment for families or two couples seeking a fun and safe place to stay in Ipanema!
