This is a great place to stay in Ipanema. The location is truly perfect: between the lake and the beach, in a street that is less than one minute away from restaurants and supermarkets. The apartment itself is very comfy, clean and convenient. The living room has a huge window facing trees, and it's a very nice place to hangout and chill while looking at a nice view. Maria Luisa is a great host, she helped us a lot while we were there. Highly recommend it!
