The photos don't do the place justice. The view of the beach from both the living room and the rooftop was spectacular. The place was very clean; it seemed like the place had been remodeled because of the new appliances and furniture. The bed was super-comfortable: I had pulled my back before the visit, and was recovering, but had no problem sleeping. Brunno was extremely helpful, giving me suggestions on best places to visit (off the beaten path, which is what I was looking for, given the frequency of my visits to Rio). The apartment is well-located: in the center of Ipanema, a twenty-minute walk to Copacabana, and Leblon. I only took an Uber at night. The apartment is in the back of the building, so you don't hear street traffic. I can't wait to stay in the apartment when I next visit.
