Wow, just wow. I’ve stayed in lot of apartments in my time from AirBnb but this is probably the best experience I’ve had so far.
So...where to begin. Let’s start with the penthouse itself. It was comfort, stylish, a 5 Star feel about the place and everything as described in the description. The rooms were spacious, the living room vast and the balcony provided luxury and comfort (especially for those 6am morning rises!) and the kitchen has everything you need (dishwasher, stove, big fridge and freezer, microwave and nice work tops).
The amenities were plentiful, plenty of towels and bedsheets provided. There were lots of dishes and cutlery. There’s a utility room with a tumble dryer in it (and even a football if you want to play at the beach!) All rooms had air conditioning and the whole atmosphere created such a special feeling for me and my friends.
We had access to WiFi which was fast and efficient. The TV was massive and was well utilised during our chill out days.
The location is ideally situation in Ipanema, close Copacabana (although we were wanted on several occasions to tread the area with caution) and Leblon was a little further along in the opposite direction. It was a five minute walk to the beach and there’s plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance from the apartment. There are a couple of gyms right on your doorstep, but I’d recommend finding a ‘smart fit’ which Isn’t to far away for a reasonable costed gym. There are jungle gyms located all along the beach too. Also, we had a jacuzzi along the balcony which really adds a touch of class to the whole apartment!
And finally, as a host, Wendy has been absolutely superb. She answered every single one of my enquiries and I didn’t have to wait too long for a response. Sufficed to say, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend staying in this wonderful 5 star luxury penthouse apartment.
Thanks again Wendy
