I spent 6 wonderful days in Rio in the Ipanema Penthouse. The flat is very nice with a superb location in the heart of Ipanema and less than 50 meters from the beach. The terrace is great to relax after a day of sightseeing or on the beach. Sacha, the owner, has been very communicative and helpful, always replying promptly to all my emails before and during my stay. He has 2 adjacent flats that can be rented individually or together for larger group. A special thanks to Penha, the housekeeper, which prepared breakfast every day for us and made us feel at home! I will definitely go back for my next visit to Rio.
