This apartment is amazing. Impeccably clean, nicely decorated, with many thoughtful touches that added significantly to our comfort (beach and bath towels, purified drinking water, outlet converters, keurig-type coffee maker and a full jar of pods, new soap/shampoo/conditioner in each bathroom, an amazing welcome basket of snacks plus a fridge stocked with beverages and food staples). Of course the beach is just steps away, but there is also a rooftop pool with insane views which we enjoyed, too.
A/C not needed during the day - the apartment doesn't get that hot - but works great in both bedrooms for sleeping. Gorgeous sea views from the master bedroom and the balcony. Located in the Barramares flat building which allows for easy access to the bakery/grocery store/pharmacy on the ground floor.
Claudio responded very quickly to all messages and was accommodating and kind. On the day we left, we realized that one of our kids had lost a small painting he'd bought at the Ipanema Hippy Market in the apartment. Claudio searched the apartment, found the painting, and delivered it to my brother in another Barramares building.
We were part of a large group staying scattered throughout the Barramares complex, and everyone agreed that ours was the nicest they'd seen for rent in the complex. Will definitely stay again on our next visit.
Thank you, Claudio!!!
