The apartment was absolutely perfect, with everything you can need for a great stay: it is spacious, with very comfortable beds, a lovely terrace and balcony and good space for eating and relaxing. The location in Ipanema is ideal, near the beach, metro, buses and shops. And the 24-hour porterage is a great bonus. Dulce is so very helpful - and that makes a difference, as she gave excellent advice on the flat and the area. I recommend this apartment whole heartedly! It helped make for a super 8 days holiday!
