Perfect place. Hosts were prompt and helpful. Location is perfect near Posto 9 on Ipsnema. It's 1 1/2 blocks to the beach. Restaurants and shops nearby. Main shopping street in ipanema is 1 1/2 blocks away. Everything I needed was nearby. Also in the building was a restaurant with sn amazing vegan buffet for $12-15 US Dollars. Apartment was clean. Bed comfortable. I hope to stay there again as I plan on visiting my friends once a year.
