It is the third time we are staying in Claudia's fantastic apartment, really located at 1 minute walk from Ipanema's beach best spot. Area is beautiful, safe, great options for restaurants, botecos, grocery stores (5 minutes from Kikarnes or Zona Sul on Visconde de Piraja) and stores in general are of walking distance.. What a pleasure to bring fresh squeezed juices (maracuja, abaxi con hortelã...) & pão de queijos/pão frances in the morning! We are used to travelling and this place is one of our favourites. Kitchen is well equipped, 2 comfortable bathrooms and 3 cosy bedrooms, spacious living&dining room, all being wonderfully decorated with Claudia's souvenirs from around the world. Definitly a place to stay and your host will take very good care of you!

I just stayed here with five other friends for carnival and it was the BEST apartment for our group!

The owner is great, very helpful and responsive. The apartment is spacious - perfect for 6 people. The living and dining area is really nice, clean, and open, with lots of windows and fresh air. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some delicious meals (and the grocery store is just a block away). The bedrooms all have air conditioning which was much appreciated during the hot Rio summer. The location could not be better. SO close to Ipanema beach, lots of restaurants, and shopping.

I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful and affordable stay in Ipanema!

This is a such a lovely apartment. It's spacious, very beautifully furnished and so conveniently located. The beach is around the corner and in the other direction are great restaurants and wonderful shopping. Pick-up and drop-off of keys was seamless. The only thing that was missing was a wine opener:).
