Ipanema Sweet Review
In this smart residential building in the heart of Ipanema, owners rent out their units by the night, week, or month. Two blocks from the beach and steps away from Ipanema's best bars, restaurants, and shops, the location cannot be beat. Rooms are well equipped and tastefully appointed, and the lobby's design (comfy sofas, framed modern art on the walls, and gleaming white walls and floors) deliberately appeals to a young, fashionable clientele. All units have their own bathroom, kitchen, and living room, and some are also equipped with television, DVD player, and Internet connection. If you like the idea of experiencing Rio like a local, this is a good place to start. A grocery store across the street makes preparing meals easy. The building has a small swimming pool and small exercise room. The bus connecting Ipanema to the metro in Copacabana is one block from the building.
