4 or 5 years in a row & still the best. The studio sized apt is quite comfy and nice with music, Streaming TV, basics and a roomy shower. Wake up & see: across the street a wonderful outdoor street cafe, look East to a great Sushi place, look left into Praça Nossa Senhora de Paz park & METRO station. Look farther left and see a 23 hour bakery. Walk out of the building and turn left for 4 blocks and you're at Posto 9 Ipanema Beach. Wow! Safe, well appointed apt and everything that you need including 120/240v outlets. Brux Loft Ipanema 6 STARs!!! 🎉. The host speaks many languages and will help you out.
