The best thing about this place is not just: Location! Location! Location!
But also, Views! Views! Views!
Daniel's place is a block away from the Ipanema beach, you are strategically right in between Posto 9, and Posto 10. But if you walk a block the other away, you are in the heart of Ipanema, with lots of bars, restaurants, juice bars, snacks, supermarkets, and plaza (nossa senhora da paz). In Brazil you see so much in the plaza, workers in their lunch break taking a nap, dog walkers crossing with their dogs, young couples discussing their relationship or making out, kids running around, greet place for people watching.
Daniel is great, very responsive, quick, communication was excellent. The workers on the building are super friendly, and ready to help.
The only con is that the apt need more (and better) pots and pans, if you are staying for a longer time and plan to cook some meals at home the pots and pans are limited.
Overall I loved the place, would definitely come back.
