I had a fantastic stay at Bernardo’s apartment.
It’s in a great location. A short walk to great restaurants, bars and of course Ipanema beach. It’s also very close to the subway and felt a quiet but safe area.
The apartment was clean and well equipped and great value for the area and what’s set it apart is the kindness and generosity of Bernando as a host. Great communication and went above and beyond in making me feel welcome in his home.
I would flag that this is not a party house so would not recommend it if this is what you wanted in Ipanema but if not then I can highly recommend choosing it if it’s available.
A really, really great airbnb stay.
