The apartment was beyond our expectations and our expectations were already high because of the pictures. The views are unbeatable, offering you views ipanema, leblon, rocinha on one side, Copacabana, sugar loaf in the other side, and even Corcovado in the back. This is the best you can get for an outdoors living experience inside the city. The apartment is on 2 separate levels of the penthouse accessible through the main apartment where the hosts live. On the first level, you will find the pool, the bathroom, and a bar with a charcoal barbecue, and on the second level the kitchenette and the bedroom that is nestled in a bay window so you can enjoy the amazing views from the comfort of the double bed. You almost don’t want to leave the apartment so much the views are breathtaking. But the neighbourhood has a lot to offer. You’re nestled between Copacabana, ipanema and lagoa and have plenty of restaurants, shops, and easy access to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches
