Hi, our stay at Ipanema was great. Charles is a great guy, he received us at the apartment. The apartment is very nice, located 2 blocks from the beach in a very nice area, full of restaurant, supermarket, etc....we had all we needed in the apt, specially the TV services were great (Netflix, etc)...great refrigerator, Nespresso coffee, etc...so everything was great. Room service very good people and everybody that worked in the building. Not so important but, the only thing i would improve from the apt. is the curtains since during the afternoon the sun comes in too strong to the apt and curtains are to thin....but then, that s about people...some might like it and some no. We strongly recommend Charles apt.
