We fell in love with this apartment and were very sorry to leave. It is spacious and bright and has a lot of charm. The apartment is recently renovated with high-end appliances and furnishings and elegant touches. It is gracious and peaceful and looks out onto a lush garden, giving you privacy and quiet. And it is located on a beautiful residential street only steps from Ipanema’s best restaurants, shopping, and, of course, spectacular beach. We have stayed in Ipanema many times and this is by far our favorite place. We highly recommend it and look forward to our next stay.
