Loved the apartment - loved the location. It is as close as possible to the beach (Posto 9) and is ideal if you want to spent time in the sun. The apartment is comfortable, the king bed is amazing, and the views are unbeatable. There were 5 of us in the group and we slept comfortably (6 would be just fine too). We really enjoyed using the kitchen and the dining room as there was a market 1 block away on Friday morning (flowers, fish, fruit, vegetables, etc.). There was also a bakery type place 1 block away that was great for bread, meat, cheese, coffee cake, etc.

The host was friendly, helpful, quick to respond to issues, and made the experience a positive one.

If you're looking to spend time on the Ipanema beach and in the neighborhood - this is the place to stay :)
