This was really the best studio in Ipanema. Maybe a 2 minute walk from the beach. It's clean, and Team Henrique is laid back and helpful. We had trouble with the wifi the first day and our host was there immediately to fix the problem. Additionally, Henrique was more than willing to let us use the apartment later into the day on our last day because we had late flights. Overall, this is a wonderful place and we recommend it to anyone. Our only complaint was the noise from the construction outside during the week. But it didn't start until later in the morning and seems to be temporary. Tip: we loved bar Astor down the street for cocktails. It was great to have a wonderful neighborhood bar!
