From the moment I stepped inside this apartment, I couldn't wait to write a review. And then every day, every hour, I was even more enthusiastic. I doubt there can be a more stunning view in all of Rio. From Ipanema and Dois Irmaos on the left to Christo on the right, the panorama is stunning. And every 20 minutes it's new with the shifting cloud formations and changing light. The only danger is that you might hesitate to ever leave the apartment and explore Rio. A quick walk to Copacabana or Ipanema brings you to restaurants, shops, beach, bars... it just goes on and on. I slept great, used the kitchen, and "worked from [home]" very effectively. Wifi is not always reliable in Airbnb's, but here it was solid and responsive always - perfect for maintaining contact with home and for work on vacation. Great host! Friendly building security people. I'll be back!
