Our stay was lovely,Brux was prompt with our inquiries and we found his sweet place to be perfect for our needs, it is as described,a loft but not a tiny one,a newly refurbished apartment in a Art Deco building in the renowned and very hip Ipanema neighborhood,
the loft sits literally 2 walking blocks from the beach and about 4 to Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas which is a great place for walks ,bicycle rides and hanging out with equally beautiful landscape.all sorts of trendy boutiques , restaurants and bakeries are within walking distance to the loft,so you are literally in the middle of everything.
if you do not need a lot of space,this the perfect location.
It’s a family building so you may be lucky enough to bump into some of the tenants and perfect your Portuguese.
For the older folks or the handicapped there are 3 small flights of stairs as for us it was not a issue.Thumbs up Brux.
PS Brux, my husband says he loved the shower.
