Nice apartment in the heart of Ipanema, minutes away from the beach and metro. A lot of great bars and restaurants in the area. There’s a 24 hour doorman so safety shouldn’t be a concern here. The apartment has an a/c which at this time of year isn’t really necessary, and there’s also an overhead fan which is great. Apartment comfortably fits 2 people as there’s a full/queen sized bed. Despite the neighborhood being busy the apartment is on a quiet street and the room faces a courtyard so noise is never a problem. Georgeana & Paulino were very responsive if I ever had questions and they were also very gracious to allow me to have a late check out as there were no guests staying after me. They also provided a huge bottle of water in the fridge, toilet paper, soap, and garbage bags— all things that help make the beginning of your stay convenient as you don’t have to run to the market to get necessities on your first day. Definitely recommend staying here if you want a nice place close to the best beach in Rio!
