Enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is close to the beach (5 min walk) & right in the middle of Copa & Ipanema...the street outputs directly to Post 8 on the beach. The building/apartment itself is a little old but the apt has been well maintained. Lighting in the common areas is great, there is a side-view of the ocean down the street from the living room window & from the bedroom that faces the street.

Pros: Charming apt, clean, lovely decor, comfortable beds, good location to beach/metro/taxis/bus/restaurants/supermarket, and safe. New TV (but we didn't use it much). Also nice there was a music player to hook your phone/computer into via aux cord. Kitchen has utensils, plates, and silverware. Bathroom had soap, small bottles of shampoo & conditioner, 1 roll of tp, and plenty of hot water.

Cons: AC in spare room not as cool as the ones in the bedrooms, it would not be comfortable if someone had to sleep in there. Would be nice if the kitchen fridge was newer with a separate freezer component, but not a big deal.

Overall we enjoyed our stay in the apt very much. Giselle was present to check us in & out and was very nice & welcoming. There is a guide book that is inclusive of everything to do/see/eat & the concierge (Ralph) responds to inquiries promptly. Armando also responded quickly to any questions I had, provided recommendations, and accommodated our late evening check-out. We would definitely recommend & would love to stay again when we come back to Rio!

Thank you Armando/Giselle!
