This is a lovely little apartment.

It's very well organized and tastefully decorated. Yes, a bit small, but not an issue at all for us as a couple. Besides, while in Rio, we spent most of our time outside.

The location is excellent, just two blocks away from Ipanema beach, meters away from a variety of bars and restaurants, and within easy access to public transport links.

Our experience was made even better by our attentive host, Goya. She's incredibly nice and goes out of her way to make sure you have the best possible stay.

Yes, there may be a bit of noise coming from the bar on the ground floor, but it never kept us from sleeping.

On the whole, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment.
