Fantastic location in Ipanema, close to shops and restaurants, safe, 6 mins walk from the beach and although in a busy area, the apartment does not face a noisy street. Excellent hosts of a apartment with all the mod cons you need, super comfortable double bed and some thoughtful extras in the kitchen. Minor points - not as shiny and bright as in the photos, sofabed not really comfortable for an adult and the building itself currently undergoing some renovation, but nothing major to detract from the stay! Thank you, Luisa!
