I've been to Rio several times, and this visit went without a hitch. Priscilla apt which is located in the trendy Ipanema neighborhood is very secure, extremely friendly security staff. The apartment is modernly design with all the bells and whistles. Nice Wolf Stove, Samsung Fridge, Nice Countertops, Washing machine and Very well Air-Conditioned. The beds are super Comfortable and nice Rain Shower-heads in the bathrooms. Internet maybe a tad slow at times but it worked out fine for me and my wife. The Building also has a Pool for those not so great beach days! The apartment is a Block way from the beach and the building lies between Posto 8 and the famed Posto 9 on Ipanema beach. There are many restaurants in the area, shopping areas, supermarket. The Apt also lies one block away from the Sunday Feria de Hippie Flea Market (good for picking up souvenirs) The Apt. offers views to the right of Dos Iramos Mountains and you see views of the ocean. In all it was a good experience. Thank you Priscilla for your speedy replies when i texted you and thanks to the security staff for there friendly demeanor. If you are looking for a nice place to stay... this is the way to go!
