A tastefully decorated, spacious apartment in the heart of Ipanema. You can tell that Bruno has taken care to maintain and upgrade this top-floor apartment. He has invested in quality furnishings -- including nice mattresses and bedsheets (somewhat of a rarity in Rio, in my experience). The patio is lovely, with a view of Cristo Redentor, perfect for morning coffee. The building is quiet and clean. The location is excellent, a short walk to the beach and local shops and restaurants. Bruno and his associate, Mathieu, were highly communicative, friendly, and helpful. I recommend this apartment without hesitation and hope to visit again.
