The apartment has a great location in Ipanema, just one block from the beach and very close to supermarkets, restaurants and the metro. It had two bathrooms, three double bedrooms (plus extra beds at the other end of the apartment) and a good lounge and dining area, suitable for a large number of guests. Getting hot water from the kitchen sink and bathroom basin taps was tricky on occasions; only the showers seemed to trigger the boiler to come on, so we had to sometimes have the shower on to get hot water from the other taps. All in all, it's a great place to stay in Rio.
