The apartment is in a perfect location. It has a very good kitchen and nice TVs as well as a Bose sound system. On Sunday's there is a hippie market at General Osorio right outside and on Tuesday"s there is a nice fruit market. Tuesday night also in the big French night. On weekends, starting Thursday, the French bar in the building is the Hip spot to be. Thanks to the isolated windows it is quiet inside, so nothing to fear there. Many restaurants nearby, 2 blocks to the beach of Ipanema. The host Christian is extremely attentive and helpful, he even made sure we had some water and cerveza in the fridge upon arrival.
We can highly recommend the apartment for a couple with kids. The master bedroom is very very nice, the second bedroom is much smaller and darker.
