The location a block from the beach near Posto 9 is superb. This is the liveliest part of Ipanema, close to public transportation, neighborhood shopping, and dozens of good restaurants and bars.
The issue with most apartments in the area is that they were built 20 - 30 years ago and haven't undergone any substantial upgrades since. Priscilla's place is an extraordinary exception. Although located in an older residential hotel (with 24-hour attendants, pool, and health club facilities), the space has been completely and recently re-thought, so it's modern, beautiful, and quite comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and the linens are of good quality. There's a washing machine and a rack for drying clothes in the living room/enclosed terrace.
Potential guests should be aware that it's not a dedicated airbnb apartment, so some closets and several cabinets are locked to guests. The terrace shown in the photos is now fully glassed-in, so there's no outdoor space. The main bedroom and its open bath are open to the enclosed terrace area, separated by an electronic blackout curtain. And the lighting and electronics design is so special that you may get confused trying to turn a lamp on or off.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. Of several apartments and hotels we've visited in Ipanema in recent years, this is the most stylish and comfortable. Highly recommended.
