Super cute and clean place. Perfect location, minutes to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Groceries are 1 block away, restaurants everywhere. Washer is in the unit and there is a place to hang clothes to dry in bathroom (dryers are not commonly found in Brazil). Building is about 6 or 7 stories with about 6 units on each floor, so it is a medium sized building. This unit is on the 4th floor and it is in the "back" of the building. FAR from any street noise. Very quiet, bedroom can be blacked out, bed is very comfortable, and the AC units in unit are excellent...! Very secure building, entry to building is locked and an additional locked gate is beyond the entry door. There is no doorman but there is a maintenance man who you will see throughout the day. I felt 100% safe in this unit. Definitely recommend 100%...!
