The apartment is beautiful and HUGE, very spacious living room/dining area, two working bathrooms, very comfy bedrooms, and a washer which was the cherry on top.
From the very first day, our experience was incredible, the building has a "super/front lobby concierge" 24hs a day, and they were always very kind. Theresa, the hostess, was just the best with us, friendly and respectful, always there if we needed anything (like umbrellas for rainy days or chairs to take to the beach), and she even welcomed us with a pantry and fridge full of essentials for our stay. I can honestly say that she made our vacations a better experience.
The building is surrounded by supermarkets and shops and plenty of restaurants, the subway/metro is just a few blocks away and very convenient and easy to get to other areas of the city for touristic journeys, but having Ipanema and Copacabana beach just steps away was the most glorious gift we could have asked for. WE WILL COME BACK!
