My girlfriend and I had a very enjoyable time staying at Antonio’s apartment. It’s a little smaller than meets the eye but still cozy and comfortable. The location is great, you’re a few blocks from the beach, not too far from Copacabana, and the area of Ipanema is trendy and fun to explore. The building is gated and has a door man. Our only issue was that the water didn’t get hot and showers were cold. We never complained about it due to our short stay but you may want to clarify the hot water is working before you stay.
