Fabrizio and Vivian's place is absolutely perfect. So perfect that I rented it for 3 months. It's located on the street of the popular hotel Fasano. As soon as you turn the corner, you see the famous "Dois Irmaos" and the beach. The beach is literally on the other side of this block. If you go left you're on the beach of Ipanema. Go right a couple of blocks and you're on the beach of Copacabana. This street is super safe and it feels that way too. The doormen are super kind and only they can unlock the front gate. There are monkeys and exotic birds in the building's backyard which you have huge beautiful windows towards. You can also go there and sit on the bench, it's super peaceful. There's no street noise here unless someone's doing construction nearby, other than that it doesn't even feel like you're in the middle of Rio. The apartment has been completely remodeled and the decor is so cute, every detail is perfect. The bed and all the pillows is extremely comfortable. The owners respond right away to everything and they are so keen on making sure everything is good in the unit for me which I have appreciated deeply. Because of my longer stay, they have had their housekeeper come every two weeks which has been amazing. These details count so much for me. The bathroom is beautiful and the small kitchen is more than enough space for one person to store food and cook meals and if there's more than one person and you're staying for less time, it's fine too. Everything in the apartment is new. The neighborhood is amazing. Everything's walking distance; restaurants, beaches, grocery store, bars, popular streets, etc. I'm really grateful to have found this place! It's the best peaceful place to come home to after a long day out exploring the city. The energy here is great!
