The location of this apartment is perfect- we were 5 minutes from the beach, restaurants, shopping, and groceries. Juan Miguel and Betty provided tons of advice and recommendations to make our time in Rio amazing, and they were very easy to reach with any questions. The apartment itself is small but a great size for two people. The shower was excellent and the bed was comfortable. There was some construction happening in another part of the building during our stay, so at times there was more noise than we would have liked, but it was only during daytime hours. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place for travelers who want to be close to everything in Ipanema. Would stay here again!
