The perfect start to our Brazilian grand tour. Spacious and very clean apartment in one of the liveliest streets of Ipanema, with lots of restaurants and bars close by. Ipanema beach, between posto 8 and 9, is no more than 100 meters away; you could literally crawl there. Jose was very friendly in responding to our questions during the stay. Also, we felt welcome and at home there because of the very nice and helpful doorman Luis. We would love to return there, and highly recommend the apartment to others.
