We loved Dircélia’s place and really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was so easy, the apartment was lovely, bright, and clean. The cable tv was great with some English language channels which was very important for us. The 24 hour front desk with security cameras made us feel very comfortable and safe, while the pool area was nice and quiet and relaxing. The location is great, just one block from Ipanema Beach, with restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets within an easy walk. Overall, a great place and highly recommended.
