This is the PERFECT place to stay in Rio! Location wise, you are two blocks from the beach, on the coolest street in Ipanema, with juice bars on each corner, and, if you need, a Citibank, Starbucks & McDonalds all on the same block.

The apartment is a VERY large one bedroom with high powered fans and a WONDERFUL air condition that turns the place into an icebox. There's laundry, a double-headed shower, cable tv, an elevator AND a doorman. There's a ton of closet space, a couch, and a living room with plenty of room. There's an additional water closet in case two people need to use the bathroom at the same time.

Frnacisca is a fabulous host - very communicative, easy to deal with and super nice. The place was super clean with plenty of towels and toiletries for the two of us.

I can't emphasize how amazing the location of this apartment is and the comfort of the home as well. You would be a fool to not stay here on your next trip to Rio!
