The apartment is very well situated on the beach in Ipanema, very secure, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It is spacious and easily sleeps 5 people. The owner Jane was very helpful, providing lots of tips on what to do in the city and was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. In addition, the concierge was very helpful and would carry our groceries and come up to the apartment immediately if we had any trouble figuring out how to operate something. I would highly recommend the apartment to others.
