My husband and I just got back from Rio and we were very happy with our one-bedroom flat on Farme de Amonoedo. It was clean and conveniently located in a bustling part of Ipanema with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars just outside the flat and in the surrounding neighborhood. There is no elevator and we had to walk up to our flat on the 3rd floor, but we didn't mind as the location easily made up for the inconvenience of the climb. Jose and his men were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
