Cesar and I had a quite a bit of back and forth and he answered all of my questions. Upon arrival, Cesar met us and gave us a tour of the house and all of the bells and whistles as well as some ideas on how to spend our free time while in Rio. We were greeted every weekday morning with a nice breakfast provided by Lidia and we also utilized Lidia for Laundry. The location was perfect for access to anywhere in Ipanema by foot and we could catch a taxi to head to other parts of Rio. The Osorio Metro stop was about a 10 min. walk if public mass transportation was preferred. We were also about a 10 min. walk from Posto 9 at Ipanema beach. All in all, access to everything Ipanema was at our fingertips.

As has been mentioned, the views from the apartment are epic and pictures just do not do the location justice.

I would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a quiet location in Ipanema, but wants to be close to all of the action that Rio has to offer!!
