This is a great penthouse located at the heart of Ipanema, only three blocks away from the beach.

The living space is fairly compact and a bit quirky (made up of a kitchen / living area separated from the bedroom / bathroom by the terrace), and some features show quite a bit of wear and tear (in line with most places in Rio). Decoration and furnishing is fairly minimal, but in good taste. On the other hand, the main things are good quality: a large comfortable bed, good kitchen, and good quality modern air con in both kitchen and bedroom, which make for a comfortable stay.

However, the highlight of the place is the huge terrace (on three levels) and the breathtaking views over Ipanema, Lagoa and the Christ, almost from everywhere in the flat. You will be hard pressed to find something like this anywhere else in Ipanema - it feels like the setting for a skybar, which you can enjoy on your own privacy. All in al, this is one of the most impressive penthouses I 've stayed so far.
