Omar's place in Ipanema was fantastic! The location: close to the beach, close to a ton of restaurants and grocery stores, clean, safe, just terrific!
The apartment is very well appointed, kitchen was fully stocked if one wants to cook. Hot water is endless, and the utensils and pots and pans are all there. The bedroom was clean and the en-suite bathroom and shower was great. Sometimes the beds in Brazil are on the 'firm' side, this apartments bed was just right and very comfortable. Almost zero outside noise so sleeping is no problem. The almost-new A/C churns out the chilled air for your slumber.
This apartment is well thought out and is totally complete :ironing board, iron, and even an umbrella if you forgot one!
I would highly recommend this apartment and Omar and his friend Hugo. They are super friendly, quick to communicate with, and made for a very pleasant experience. I WILL be back!
