The best thing is the apartment`s location. You can reach Ipanema Beach really easily and it is only 5min away from the beach. It is really quiet during the night and safe. The apartment is located near the Metro Station (Osario) and the street is full with shopping opportunities and restaurants and a really nice hippie market on sundays. The flat is nicely furnished and well equiped if you like to cook. The water is really hot and everything is clean and modern. The apartment is not as bright as it seems on the pictures! The window are darkened. But you won`t be in the apartment all day long so no big problem. So all in all a great flat with a perfect location!
