The view from Casablanca 3 was so much more stunning than we could have ever imagined. The apartment is simple and attractive, with several attentive touches from Jeanne (like a map of the area and tips on where to shop for food, eat, exchange money and how to get to major sights). It is fully equipped with a mini fridge, stove top, and you have access to a washing machine.
The little terrace is a skinny staircase upwards and we ended up not using it as much as we expected.
The apartment is located just a short and scenic walk away from Ipanema. We sometimes did not bother calling an Uber to go into town.
Note that Uber drivers do not come up to the door, but they pick you/drop you off below the hill. It is a bit of a hike up to and the through the property so take this into account.
Jeanne’s property is like a secret garden, lovingly cared for, which made the walk up much nicer. And the sound of the ocean did not hurt either.
Mosquitoes are very active, so bring repellent or whatever you use!
I would stay there again, certainly.
