This is a GREAT place to stay! When we arrived, we were met by the doorman and given two sets of keys. We took the elevator up to the 5th floor and were absolutely stunned by this beautiful apartment. The front is all windows, which let in a lot of light and fresh air. It is even more spacious than the pictures show. We had a group of ten people and nobody had to sleep on a couch! The kitchen was fully stocked, and there was even a laundry machine. Everything was very clean and there were towels for each person. The location is absolutely ideal, walking distance to Copacabana AND Ipanema. It is a beautiful place and a great value. I would recommend it to everyone!
