Excellent location, just a short walk to Arpoador, the beginning of Ipanema which IMHO is one of the best beach spots in Zona Sul. The apartment could use some updating but is clean and basic. The 2nd bath is really more of a 1/2 bath with a shower head, ok to rinse off after the beach but not to get ready to go out. The big living room is the star, 3 large comfy couches, good internet and TV with Netflix, great space for drinks and conversation. The doorman was very attentive and helpful. The price was right, I was happy. Younger travelers who just need a nice place to crash will be fine, older more traveled folks (like myself) might want to pay a bit more for more a more refined experience.
