Overall very good place to stay! The apartment is stylish and modern, has a nice balcony and is perfectly located 5 minutes from the beach in Ipanema. We were a bit disappointed by the size of the house, since we were expecting to be able to host 5 people easily, but Armando provided us with extra mattresses so it turned out fine. Although he was not there during checkin he was always available for a call and gave us all instructions to get to the apartment and open the door. Definitely would recommend the place if you are in a group of 4 people trying to have a nice place in Ipanema!
