The apartment is very well equipped and trendy - kitchen, 2 smart TVs, hairdryer and many more. It is not facing the street and is well shielded against traffic noise (very quiet inside). It is very spacious and of a perfect size for a couple. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would highly recommend this apartment. Worth to mention is that it has on 2 sides big windows which creates a nice and cooling breeze. It has also a well functioning air conditioning. Claudio and his wife are very friendly and responsive. The checkin was easy going. There is also a door man for the building who collects the waste and is very helpful otherwise. A very big plus is the location - the Ipanema beach is around the corner, the metro is just a couple of minutes away, also restaurants/bars/shops and a big supermarket are nearby. All in all we had a very pleasant stay and as I said before- we highly recommend this apartment.
