The apt is at a great spot if you like to stay in ipanema. The buses towards downtown (the subway on plaza osorio still under construction), pao azucar, christ statue is 30sec from the door, 2min walking down to the beach, 10min walk to aporador and on the other side copacabana beach. You can even walk to cantagalo metrostation (closest which is running) in 15-20min to take the metro to centre (which with the traffic in rio is suggested).
Quiet apartment, Leyv answered quickly, no problems with the organisation. GREAT bed!!better then mine at home!clean apartment, but as always smaller than the pictures would suggest.but fitted our family of 2 adults and 2 kids perfect (they slept in a bed for babies we brought and a inflate madress Levy left for us since the kids like to sleep in our room-thank you levy.) otherwise the sofa is possible to make a bed-but the area in the livingroom will then be very cramped if the sofa is folded out-would need to stow it away every day if you want to use the table etc.) never used the TV, but stove, fridge and washmachine worked fine. Small kitchen, but regular as always abroad... Good hot water! The only downside is no balcony (for us parents who would love to soak in the air/athmosphere 'at home' even after the kids gone to sleep)! /märta
