Excellent location! It's proximity to cafes, markets. metro(Cantagalo), beach was perfect. The walk to Ipanema was easy. The building doormen were extremely pleasant and accommodating - assisted me w/luggage upon arrival. The self-check in process could not have been simpler. The unit is modern, stylish and very comfortable. I loved and appreciated the fact that the wifi was quick and seamless!!!!! No issues whatsoever: i will gladly stay there if available on subsequent trips
