Perfect location for a short stay in Ipanema. The apartment is in the centre of everything, a block away from the beach, great restaurants and shops. It was a great location for a morning run on the beach! It is very cozy with a nice kitchen. The owner is very sweet and very helpful and there whenever necessary. I wouldn't have minded a washing machine at the place but it was not the end of the world. Also only the bedroom has the air conditioning but it's all you really need.
