This is an incredible location. Direct oceanfront in one of the most
Prestigious blocks of Ipanema (almost next door to Fasano where a 30m^2 room facing the ocean would be almost a thousand dollars a night).
Simple, no fuss experience. Building staff happy to help you bring suitcases in and out, and also recognize you whenever you come and go and just open the door. And they do know you. And they don’t make a fuss. Ideal as far as I see in a Rio apartment.
Angela puts what you need in the fridge, has a nespresso machine...
Apartment is spacious. Master bed huge. Luxury bath with chromotherapy. I didn’t want to leave!!! :-) and she gave me a late check out, so even that wasn’t so bad.
