The apartment is great and the location is awesome, super close to the Ipanema beach. Communication with Brux is very quick and efficient. Ipanema is a neighborhood I love, a lot of restaurants, boutiques, food stands in the street.
For having visited Copacabana, Lapa, Leblon and Ipanema, I really recommend Ipanema :) It’s less crowded than Copacabana and sunsets are awesome from the beach, with the view on Morro Dois Irmãos.
