The location is excellent, two blocks from Ipanema beach, half a block from the Ipanema metro stop, and also not far from Copacabana. Good shopping, eating and drinking nearby. The building has a 24-hour reception desk. Dulce was very friendly, responsive and accommodating. The first floor has a bedroom and bathroom, living/dining room, small balcony and small kitchen. The kitchen is adequate but could be better organized and equipped. At the top of a metal spiral staircase is the second bedroom and bath and terrace off the bedroom with a table and nice view. The flat is nice but could be much improved with better cleaning and care.
