EXCELLENT place to stay!!! Strongly recommend!!!
The pictures don't lie -- this is a very nice, very clean apartment that is in a safe, vibrant, fun area only steps away from the beach.

Lydie is also a terrific host -- she is very responsive, nice and incredibly helpful.

Pros:
* LOCATION!! This is in a fantastic part of Ipanema, only 2 blocks from the beach, 1 block from the grocery store, in walking distance to hundreds of great restaurants, cafes and bars -- and 1 block from Starbucks! Both fun and safe
* Strong, high quality Wi-Fi
* Lydie is great and incredibly responsive
* US-style outlets in all rooms

Cons:
* Very low water pressure in both showers
* Hot water in only one of two showers, though I think Lydie is working on fixing this
* A/C only works in bedrooms, not in main room
