We really enjoyed our stay . Perfect location in the best part of Ipanema, very safe. Supermarket next door, lots of nice restaurants, shops and boutiques. 5 min to the beach. One of the best parts of the Ipanema beach. Convenient location to all tourist attractions. Flat was very comfortable and had everything we needed and made us feel at home. Jose is a great host, we arrived early in the morning after a long journey from London and he let us have the flat from 9am with no extra charge. He was very helpful with recommendations. We would come back again. Highly recommended.
