This was truly an incredible apartment in the heart of Ipanema!
Denise and Renato were so welcoming and have created a wonderful space to spend your time in-between experiencing all that Rio has to offer. The apartment is in a safe neighbourhood lined with lush trees and fragrant flowers; a doorman buzzes you in and out of the building. It is super clean, beautifully decorated, equipped with all the amenities you need (the espresso machine, TV and washing machine were so handy!)
Within walking distance to Ipanema, Copacabana, Leblon, Lagoa, Jardim Botanico, Parque Lage and so much more. Many restaurants and bars in the vicinity - just Ask Denise and Renato for their recommendations as they are spot-on! Our favourites were Spazziano (a hidden local gem) and Prana (at the foot of Corcovado) - both vegan/vegetarian restaurants that you won't want to miss. Arrive early at Prana to get a slice of their coveted pie.
We truly LOVED this apartment and would have loved to stay longer. If we ever find ourselves in Rio again we know exactly where we will be staying. Thank you Denise and Renato for such an amazing experience! You don't want to miss out on staying here :)
