We stayed at Ignez' apartment for 6 nights in February for Rio Carnival. The apartment was great. It was small, but had everything you could possibly need- including a kitchen complete with stove, microwave, toaster, full plates, and cutlery etc. There is even a laundry machine. The bathroom is modern and the shower has hot water.

The apartment's location is perfect- 2 blocks for Copacabana beach and a short walk from Ipanema. it also had a 24 security guard at the entrance which made my boyfriend and I feel very safe.

We did not meet Ignez, but met her property manger who was friendly and polite.

No complaints- it was a great place and i highly recommend it.

PS Ignex even left us some chocolates and a little bottle of sparkling wine to welcome us to the apartment!
