This place was perfect. A block away from Ipanema Beach and in a great neighborhood close to many places you would want to visit. The apartment was spacious. Didn't need a plug adapter for iPhones. 2 bedrooms with their own bathrooms/showers and 2 additional bathrooms outside of the rooms. It has a washer/dryer but we didn't get a chance to use them. I'm a light sleeper so since I read in another review that you might hear some noise in the streets below, I brought earplugs and it worked just fine for me. Maria was amazing. She always responded to my correspondences quickly and answered all my questions. Her bellman was helpful and his wife was available to assist our checkout even when we had to leave at 5 in the morning. Thanks again, Maria.
