Very nice apartment in a great location. One block from Ipanema Beach and close to the world famous Garota de Ipanema restaurant. Many nice restaurants, bars, and shopping in this area. The apartment had everything a guest would need including a washing machine and air conditioning which was a big plus. The place is secure and there is an attentive doorman that is available to assist if needed. The hosts were welcoming and there was always excellent communication. I stayed here for a whole month during Carnaval. My girlfriend came for a few days and she enjoyed the place too. I would definitely stay here again.
