I've just returned from my two week stay in David’s cozy and well maintained studio in Ipanema and I loved it. From start to finish, I was welcomed by David, his neighbors and front desk staff "24hr door men". They all provided great suggestions for the apartment area as well as Rio's tourist attractions. The area is well located just steps from Ipanema hospital, metro stations, restaurants with lots of delivery, mobile stores, laundry services and the beaches are only a short walk away.
Ohhh, before I forget the studio itself. It's cozy and comfy just as described in the pics and listing. It is perfect for one or 2 people, very clean, great WIFI, adequate kitchen, air conditioned and very safe with police close by because it’s located by the hospital. All in all it’s a win and I’ll return to Rio in a few months, surely I’ll stay here.
