The flat is in a fantastic location in the Ipanema district, only a few minutes walk to either Copacabana or Ipanema beach, and with plenty of restaurants and cafes near by. For trips further away there is a underground station less than ten minutes walk away.
The flat is as described, about 30 square meters, with a small, well equipped kitchen. The bathroom has a nice shower unit with plenty of hot water. The air condition unit worked well and was most useful as the weather was very hot during our stay.
As the flat is in a block of flats with a door man on duty 24 hours a day it gave a feeling of high security.
To summarize; this is an excellent flat in a superb location and I would certainly try to rent it again if I ever returned to Rio de Janeiro.
