I booked the apartment for one week during the Olympic games and it has been a great choice. It is located a stone's throw away from Posto 8, Ipanema beach and 5min walk away from General Osorio metro station. Plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets at Ipanema are within reach. The apartment is clean and comfortable and the despite the busy location it is quite enough for some moments of relaxation and a good night sleep! The 24hrs reception guarantees security despite the small communication issues since none of the receptionists speaks other language than Portuguese. Minor problems like a dripping tap have been resolved fast enough. I strongly recommend it for those who search for accommodation at Copacabana/Ipanema/Leblon area.
