The view! The view! Aureo's apartment has a stunning view from the living room/balcony. I loved looking at the moon at night over the Ipanema beach from the safety of the balcony. Aureo was a responsive host and the place was clean. Daily maid service was excellent. The dishes were always cleaned and my bed made. The place is about 18 minute walk to the Starbucks, ATM, cafes. And about a 10 minute walk to the grocery store. It can feel longer when it's hot outside. But it has easy access to the Ipanema beach which is just across the street. Front desk was able to store my luggage when needed. Small elevator to the 6th floor where the apartment is located. Two bedrooms, Two bathrooms, Two showers, one washer. Dishwasher wasn't working when I was there but the maid service was so excellent you didn't need it. Sizable refrigerator. Television in the living room and both bed rooms. Plenty of space for clothes. Worth the price for the view! Loved it!
