Sidney’s place is great, the location in Ipanema is perfect: a couple of blocks from the beach, grocery store, bars and restaurants a few steps from the door. The apartment itself is large, comfortable and well maintained with soundproofed windows to keep the street noise outside, we specially enjoyed the AC in the living room & bedrooms and also the strong hot water pressure in the shower. Rose was really helpful being available for any questions we had and she was also flexible with check-in and check-out times. I highly recommend this place.
