Claudia’s apartment is a gem. In the middle of busy Ipanema and yet... secluded, cozy, quiet. It was great to cool down in the little swimming pool, after a day strolling around at 35o celsius. The place is well equipped, the kitchen has everything one needs. Bed & linen comfortable. Taxi at the door, also near Rio’s metro new line. Neighborhood is the best you can get in town.
