My wife and I stayed here with our young daughter. Everything was great. The communication was instant. Really, the place is just like it looks in the pictures but a little bigger. Private Patios in both the front and the back of apartment maybe it seem very big.
The building actually has a doorman and security in the street. We had 0 issues inside or out of the apartment.
As far as location, you’re literally one block from the Lagoon where I ran and worked out everyday. You’re also surrounded by restaurants, bars, grocery stores and a couple blocks from the beach.
Just a great place in a nice area of Ipanema with a cool host.
