The place is just like the pictures! It is tidy and modern with a small kitchen, big fridge, air conditioning in both the lounge and bedrooms and a balcony. The place is also serviced by housekeeping.
It’s just a 2 minute walk to the best part of Ipanema beach. There are a heap of restaurants and shops within just metres from the property.
The building has a concierge which made it feel really safe. The concierge helped us get into the building on more than one occasion when we locked ourselves out.
The host contacted me in advance of the trip to arrange a time for check in and was very flexible with our need for an unusual checkout time of 11:30pm. The host was very responsive via instant messaging apps the whole time we were there.
I will likely stay here again next time I’m in Rio.
