The apartment was very beautiful. In very nice part of Ipanema and very close to the beach. Everything you need is in the apartment. Full kitchen, extra linens. The apartment looks newly renovated, it is very clean and comfortable. Denise was a wonderful host that checked with me to make sure I was doing ok throughout my stay. Denise and the concierge that checked me in were very kind. When I got sick during my vacation the concierge went to the pharmacy to get me medicine, and came up to the apartment again just to check on me. And Denise also checked on me. Wonderful host
