I am so glad I was able to find this beautiful gem in Ipanema. Carlos was the perfect host and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The apartment is bright, beautiful and just like the pictures. As a young woman traveling alone, I felt very safe here. There is a 24 hour doorman and everything you can dream of, from cafes to shops to the beach (!) are all just a walk away. This was the perfect place to rest and relax as well, and I would definitely stay here again!
