Lucilene's penthouse was beautiful, clean, and well equipped for nearly any scenario. I would highly recommend her penthouse to anyone who wants to stay in Ipanema. The pool was clean and well kept and the balcony view is just as you see on the picture. On top of that she was incredibly responsive to all messages and gave us an incredible amount of information on the area (dinner, groceries, tourism, shopping, etc). She also was very accommodating for our check in and check out. The place is completely private and me and my partner felt like we were in our own oasis when we wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of Ipanema beach.
