I've been doing a getaway vacation to Rio for 20 years. The view of Ipanema Beach , the Two Brothers Mountain, and the offshore islands is one of my favorite views in the world! Angela's place has an unobstructed view of all of that! Rio is kind of unique in that you can see the sun both rising and setting over the ocean. You need do nothing more to walk on your patio, open a bottle of champagne and take it all in. I found the apartment was more attractive and roomier than the photos. Roof top pool and gym well maintained and more great views. Friendly staff working the door.(Thanks Thelma). The host was very responsive. Best Rio trip ever!
