Having worked remotely in Rio the last 1.5 years, I can confidently say that Philippe's place has, hands down, the best view in Rio!!! Those big windows allow you to feel at home in the sky, with unobstructed views of the sea, all of Ipanema, and the lagoa; it's truly a sight to behold. For those working remotely: the internet was better than I've seen in a lot of the city, and more than adequate for Zoom calls etc. Philippe was super responsive in all communication, which is always so helpful! And he was even flexible with my check-in and check-out times, which I appreciated so much. Thank you Philippe for an incredible stay!
