We stayed in this gorgeous apartment for a week in November 2014. It was spotlessly clean, charming and comfortable. The location is perfectly positioned by Ipanema but near enough to other areas like Lagoa and Copacabana if you want. Plus the Metro is nearby for getting up to La Pa, etc.
The décor is lovely, the bedroom quiet (and cool if you need it to be; the aircon works well). The kitchen has everything you need. The building has 24 hr porter to let you in and out.
Both Lydie and Ghizlane made us feel very welcome and gave advice about the city when we arrived. They communicated quickly and were really helpful.
I simply cannot fault this place- it's fantastic!
