José Marcos apartment is in a great location, quiet but only a few short blocks from restaurants and a very nice grocery store. The area felt safe and the doormen made sure the building was secure. The team was easy to communicate prior to and after our stay and they were on time for both check in and check out.

I had to work while there and the internet worked very well, it was fast and it never dropped. The bed was comfortable and had extra pillows, plus there was both AC and a fan is the room, so easy to regulate our preference.
We are cooks and like to have some meals in and while they have all the necessities, some were not as functional as others. This not as important to most vacationers, but wanted to mention. Also the bathrooms are bit tired and can use some upkeep, but overall did not impact our stay. We get covid hit this industry pretty hard and people are trying to recover.
Overall if you are looking for a great location in Ipanema this is a good choice!
