The apartment has an amazing location, few meters away only from the beautiful Ipanema beach and close to numerous supermarkets, shops, restaurants / juice makers, a bike rental station and a metro station. The apartment itself has a wonderful, warm and refined interior design (beautiful wooden floor for instance, nice bench, table and lamps), appears to be brand new / freshly renovated, and is very charming and cozy. The hammock was really appreciated, and so were the wide window with its view on a gorgeous tropical tree, the sound of birds singing and the sight of monkeys hopping from one branch to the next. The apartment is quiet (other than the lovely sounds of nature during the day) as it does not lead on the street side. Fabrizio was very extremely helpful and fast in responding to our queries and sharing information, and check-in and checkout were made super easy. I can only recommend staying at Fabrizio and Vivian’s cute and highly welcoming place!
