This apart-hotel is one block from the beach, right across from the country club on "Posto 10" of Ipanema Beach. The apartment we stayed consisted of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living and dining rooms, kitchen and 2 balconies. One balcony have views of Ipanema Beach and the other of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and the Corcovado. While a bit dated, the apartment was very functional and had everything we needed for the 3-day stay with our 2 kids. The staff comes on a daily basis to make the beds and clean the kitchen and other areas needing attention. The building has a fitness center, large outdoor pool with life guard, spa, sauna as well as a restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Self park garage is included and monitored closely by the security staff of the building. The building is located within short walking distance from restaurants, shops, supermarkets and public transportation to all major touristic sites in Rio de Janeiro. We were very pleased with our stay and would certainly consider going back to the same apart-hotel on a next visit to Rio.
