We had a great stay in Ipanema! Brunello was very helpful and responsive-- both in the time leading up to our trip and during our stay itself. Getting the keys was very easy and he allowed us to leave our bags on our last day as our flight was not until the evening. The location was perfect- very close to both the beach and the lake and many restaurants, bars, and grocery stores of Ipanema. Because the apt is on the ground floor there was some noise in the evening, and it did not get a ton of natural light or air from outside as the windows are shuttered. But would definitely recommend the apartment overall! Thanks for a great stay!
