VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay that is centrally located in Ipaneima, one block from the beach!
Everything you need is within walking distance, from an extended-hours grocery store, to the shopping district and great restaurants... and especially the BEACH!
The condo is clean, modern and very spacious. The building is secure and access to it is very safe. The street is quiet, as is the condo.
The owners of the property are amazing. Friendly, helpful and very trustworthy. Dealing with them was a pleasure. Staying at this property really made the vacation.
I would be happy to answer questions from others interested in staying at this property.
I am planning on visiting Rio again and will definitely stay at here. |

| Call off your search, you have found the perfect apartment rental in Rio! Having lived in Rio de Janeiro before, my expectations for this rental location were quite high and I am glad to say they were met! The unit is located in a quiet tree lined street, yet so close to all the action. Ipanema is without a doubt the neighborhood you want to stay when you’re going to Rio. The décor is very cute and everyone was so helpful. Ricardo was so prompt in his replies, the doormen were always helpful and our family had a wonderful time. This place is also pretty reasonably priced compared to other apartments of the same standard. I stayed there with my husband, my mother and my 2 kids in April 2009, and we even had perfect weather. I’ll be sure to stay there next time I go to Rio. |

| We stayed in this apartment in mid-March 2009. The location is great, close to the beach, in a very safe area and with restaurants, shops and bars nearby. Booking process was very smooth and responses were very quick. The apartment itself is spacious and very well decorated. I can honesty say we had no complaints and had a very nice stay there. |

| Delightful apartment. Very quiet and homey. Ownership was very helpful too with local restaurant reccomendations, arranging transportation, etc. We'll definitely come back. |

| This unit is well-decorated and has all amenities that anyone could need. It was particularly nice to stay here on the second week of my vacation because of the washer/dryer. It is in excellent condition, quiet, and spacious. It is in a perfect location -- so close to the prime beach, near the Hippie Fair, and excellent restaurants. I highly recommend the unit, and I would stay there again. I did not previously know the landlord, but found him to be both helpful, accomodating, and pleasant to work with. |

My partner and I have stayed at this fantastic condo in Rio for two weeks in each of the past three years (2005, 2006, 2007)--each time during Carnaval. It's the PERFECT place to stay in Rio. Ipanema is one of, if not the, nicest neighborhoods in Rio, and this condo is perfectly located just a little more than a short block from the beach, a half-block from the Zona Sul supermarket, a half-block from the Hippie Fair (held each Sunday in the park across from the Zona Sul). The condo is spacious, clean, nicely decorated and quite pleasant. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and modern, there's ample room to store your clothes, the kitchen is fully fucntional, and the air conditioning works really well. Each time we've visited, Ricardo has added something new to the place to upgrade it--so it's nice to see he takes pride in ownership.
Ricardo is very easy to deal with and quite professional. And, the great thing is, his mother lives in Rio, she speaks fluent English, and she's available by phone if you have any questions or if, by chance, you need a new set of keys (which happened to us once when we lost a set at the beach). She's also helpful with putting you in touch with local travel guides if you want to visit a favela, go hang-gliding, or just need basic info on renting bikes, things like that.
I can't imagine going to Rio and NOT staying at this place. It will spoil you. It's a nice building, with 24 hour security, and friendly tenants.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email. I'm more than happy to field any particular questions you might have about staying at this condo.
Honestly, if I could afford it, I'd buy a unit in this building. It's a perfect vacation location, and Rio is an amazing city. MUITO BOM!

This condo is modern, clean, quiet, and perfectly
situated close to the beach in Ipanema. The kitchen
and bathrooms have all the latest materials...granite,
marble, great showers, and beautiful hardwood floors
throughout. I've stayed here numerous times and look
forward to it every year. |
