Centrally located in Ipanema, this place had everything we needed. Our hostess Claudia was an absolute delight to work with. She really took care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. The only issue we came across was the shower. It kept on going hot and cold intermittently, but given the super hot weather it didn't really matter. Also when sleeping, make sure to close windows otherwise you might get bitten by mosquitoes. The bigger room has air conditioning but the small one doesn't.
