Pictures do not capture the full beauty of Isabel's place. The views are truly spectacular and inspiring. The apartment sits on the 14th floor and is half of a circle with one wall of windows. Each window opens - allowing breezes to flow through the apartment. The view looks across the Lagoa to the two brother mountains and includes a view of the ocean beyond Ipanema. You can even see the Cristo. Spectacular!!
Isabel is a thoughtful host. She organized my travel from the airport, a housekeeper who came and cleaned and also made wonderful meals. Her cousin is an accomplished tour guide who oriented me to the city and it's many notable destinations. Isabel even organized a yoga teacher to come for a private lesson. What can I say, I was spoiled!
The building is quiet and safe with a guard at the entry.
The location is in easy walking distance to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.
There is a safe path around the Lagoa that is 4.5 miles. If you like to run it is a great path to run and admire the scenery and super fit Brazilians!
Thank you Isabel, I feel very fortunate to have stayed in your beautiful home.
