The penthouse is incredible, it feels snug and roomy. The building is perfectly located in the center of Ipanema, with very easy access to shops, supermarkets, transportation, bars and restaurants. 2 blocks down the road (about 5 min walk), you are on the beach. Leo and Archanjo were great hosts, very prompt to reply my questions, and very flexible when I added a guest at the last minute. The place is very clean, it has all the amenities one could wish for, and the balcony is a nice place to chill while looking up at Christ Redeemer. If you are lucky enough to find this place available to rent, do not hesitate: book it immediately!
