Such a centralized location. Easy walk to both Ipanema and Copacabana. Lobby people were helpful. The view from the bedroom was also top notch! The place itself was a bit on the small side but it maybe has got to do with how standard apartments are done in Rio. Alessandra was super fast with her responses for all the questions we had. That helps a lot when trying to settle in to a new place. There was also construction happening next door so during the day, the noise could get bothersome. I didn’t mind it as I’m a city person but it’s definitely something to consider for others. Nevertheless, we had a great stay at Alessandra’s place.
