This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at José apt in Ipanema. The location is 1 1/2 blocks to the beach, and 1/2 block to the main street which has lots of stores, restaurants, supermarkets, beauty salons, etc. we can walk either way and reach the subway stations for ease of access to various bairos. The apt is well ventilated, cute, clean, great internet, and comfortable. The bed is big and there are two AC units and two fans. The kitchen is well equipped and you can go buy whatever you need at the supermarket to make meals. We love staying there and will definitely come back again. Thank you Jose for your hospitality, friendliness and carinho.
