I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Rio and stay close to the beach. This huge loft provides 2 bedrooms plus a huge living room to hang out, chill, dance, whatever you like. So perfect for groups! Kitchen is also huge, wifi is fast and the location of the apartment is simply amazing. Its so close to the beach but of course also in walking distance to all the bars etc. within Ipanema - perfect! In addition your host Allan will take care about anything you can ask for. We had a little technical issue with the elevator and even though he was not in Rio by the time we stayed in this wonderful place, he immediately took care about all. We didnt have to worry about anything. So again: I absolutely recommend this place!
