This is a mindblowing place. Obviously one has to start with the view, but the apartment is really big and comfortable. I dreamed of living there for good. The neighborhood is fantastic with little cafes, shops and just across the street is the beach. Some people prefer Ipanema, but I do not understand that - for me this is the perfect location, not only beach wise but also when you want to see other parts of Rio as well, as it is only a short trip to any neighborhood. Highly recomendable.
