Two of us stayed here at Mercede's one bedroom suite. We are a gay couple that wanted to find a central place in Ipanema. The listing and pictures were exactly as described. Mercedes was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. She gave us a list of suggestions and showed us where to go on the map. The surrounding area is very nice. Tiffany's is a 20 level building with a restaurant/Pool/Sitting area at the top. The back side of the building has a view of Christ the Redeemer and the front side has a beautiful view of the ocean. We would spend many nights watching the sun go down on the roof top with a few drinks overlooking the ocean. The room is good sized with a large double closet. It has a small fridge which is adequate to store items for short term. The Air conditioning unit works amazing and is great after a long hot day in the sun. Their is great water pressure in the shower and bathroom has a bidet. The apartment is close to restaurants and shops and is right next to the Hippie Fair (flea market) that is held every Sunday. The apartment is also close to a few gay bars as well as the gay beach (at posto 9). There are also many straight bars and pubs around the area. Shenanigans was a lot of fun (irish pub). Overall we loved staying here and would love to come back in the near future.
