My husband and I thought this apartment was great. As others have said, its location is literally perfect- right by the subway, in the heart of the fantastic neighborhood of Ipanema. The building was very safe, with a gate and a helpful 24-hr doorman. And everything in the apartment was clean and neat. I will say some of the pictures aren't accurate- they must belong to some of the host's other listings, maybe. There is no table & chairs, or coffeemaker, or kitchen with a backsplash- and things are pretty cramped. But it was no matter for us- we spent most of our time out exploring the city, anyway. Thank you, Nereu, for a great stay!
