It's a cozy, very light flat, clean, comfortable and well decorated, exactly as described, not that spacious but honestly it's more than enough for a couple to stay there and have everything needed. The location of the apartment is great, 2-minute walk from Ipanema beach, 3-minute walk from metro station if you need to go to downtown, there are a lot of cafes, restaurants and shops around the corner, markets on Tuesday and Sunday arranged right on the square... so almost everything you need to feel like you're at home. Vania and her son are really friendly and helpful. We were very relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay and will certainly be booking the same apartment again when we're planning to return to Rio. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a conveniently located base for staying in Rio and Ipanema.
