Silvia’s apartment in Ipanema is a perfect location from which to enjoy one of the world’s best beaches. You can stroll out the gate, managed 24/7 by friendly guards, and walk just a few meters to Posto 10. There are nice restaurants nearby, including açaí, sushi, vegetarian sushi, burgers, and even Mexican food. There is a supermarket, laundromat, and Brazilian pastry shops nearby too and it is a great neighborhood to walk around. Inside the apartment you have all the basics and thoughtful touches too. We slept well on the bed and made breakfast and sandwiches in the kitchen. There is plenty of space for two people. The highlight though is the easy access to the beach: you can get a swim in the morning, shower, and do other things during the day, or catch the sunset beer quickly before dinner and since you’re so close, you’re already home. If you want a getaway to Ipanema, this is your spot!
