The location was great! Perfect for walking Avenida Atlantica to see Copa come alive and perfect for laying out on Ipanema. Walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and a supermarket. There was plenty of space and a great view. The security and reception were great. The laundry service is very quick (but note that it is not a self-service washer & dryer, so if you arrive on a Saturday afternoon, the soonest you can send it out is Monday morning.)
