This place is a great value for the money. The location is superb. The field 9 in Ipanema beach is barely one block away. All shops one may need, restaurants, subway station, and the hippie fair, are within two blocks of the building. The apartment, although not trendy, is quiet, clean and quaint. Fernanda was very good in answering my questions, and followed up to make sure everything was okay with us.
There are very professional and polite doormen who work 24/7 at the main entrance. The building is monitored by security cameras everywhere, and has a heated pool that is well maintained. The kids loved it!
