Perfect location, fantastic space. If you're like me, you study the pictures looking for 'giveaways' that a place may not be as great as it is billed. No need. It turned out better than the pictures. In a city of tiny spaces, the beds were large and comfortable, and the living space even bigger than expected. Plenty of hot water (also not so easy to find in Rio!). You really are a short walk to your choice of beach (but you should choose Ipanema, of course!). The doormen were fantastic, even helping me navigate the garage with an oversized car. Highly recommended.
