Incredible location! Our group of 6 had a wonderful time with plenty of space and a beautiful view of Ipanema. We especially spent mornings and evenings mesmerized by the view! The apartment itself, however, lacks basic tools in the kitchen as well as cleaning supplies. If you are coming as a large group expecting to cook meals, this will be an issue. Also, if you pay for early check-in (as our group did), be sure to send CaviRio receipt of payment. Our group paid for an additional half day but forgot to send the payment receipt and the management company rented the space. While they did accommodate us with a different half-day apartment in Leblon, it involved hauling luggage up and down stairs before finally relocating to the Ipanama rental.
