I had the pleasure of staying in this apartment 2 full months and it was absolutely Wonderful. Location is beautiful, you couldn't want more. Short walk from both Ipanema and Copacabana beach's, 24 hour Food stores, Restaurants, Pharmacies and I think one of the best Bakery's I have ever been. The Apartment itself was Ideal. Everything was as descibed. Modern toilet and bathroom. Great size bedroom for a couple, with reliable Air-conditioning and Wifi. Well equipped kitchen utensils. Everything you need to feel at home and a Giant wardrobe for all your clothes. The apartment itself has no washing machine but just next to the apartment is a great Laundry service (lavandaria) which is not expensive and has great same day service so it wasnt an issue for me. Host communication with Marcia was fantastic. A very responsive and naturally caring person she recommended some great places and restaurants for me when I first arrived. In honesty I was more than happy here, its what I expected and more and I will be back to stay again :)
