Ok, first I must tell you that I enjoyed my stay with my Dad so much in Rio last year at this apartment. It was an obvious choice to come home to Ipanema at Carlos’ beautiful 2 bedroom. I get all the comfort I need, the building is in great shape, clean and secure. My host makes sure to contact me prior to my arrival and always makes sure I have what I need to enjoy Rio. After my second stay here I found so many wonderful treats in the neighborhood like the Zona Sul just steps away, great restaurants and bars, and beautiful parks. It’s also close to the Metro station which I love. I can get to Copacabana easily and just as easily go back home and relax. It’s in the right location, the right vibe, and the right host! Take care until I return, and thank you again!
