Absolute prime location to Ipanema beach just 2-3 mins walk to best swimming spot (way nicer than Copacabana). Walking distance to some great restaurants and shops. Apartment had a 24hr doorman to let you in and out of entrance who was very lovely too. Apartment was cool - modern minimal space, with nice indoor plants and relaxed surf vibe decor, fitting with Ipanema location. Had everything we needed. Andre was such a great and accomodating host - very helpful. We are a family of 4 with kids - we all loved our stay and extended it as soon as we arrived. Definitely recommend staying here!
