Apartment for rent in Ipanema – Rio de Janeiro

How to feel like a local and not like a tourist in Ipanema

Read every word of this page and find out what a great apartment in Rio can do for you

Imagine that upon landing in Rio de Janeiro airport you head to your apartment in the heart of Ipanema. The doorman awaits you and gives you the apartment key. You take the elevator up to the 12th floor where you enter your fully-furnished apartment. You feel immediately good.

The living room is spacious and well-decorated. The apartment is silent since it does not overlook the avenue. The coach – from where you can watch cable TV – is comfortable. At the dining table sits four people — and you already imagine tasting Brazilian food listening to Brazilian music played on the stereo.

You approach the window and suddenly you see Christ the Redeemer atop Corc ovado Mountain — yes, from the apartment you rented in Ipanema you can see Rio de Janeiro landmark. The view is panoramic.

Then, you move on to explore the apartment you rented. You check the kitchen out and its appliances – stove, refrigerator, toaster as well as coffee, washing and drying machines. You even feel hungry and you will soon solve that  by going shopping at the nicest supermarket in Ipanema — only two blocks away from your apartment.

Excited, you keep exploring your apartment. You have a look at the bathroom and say to yourself , “Humm.. very nice — just like in the photos”. Beautiful sink, quality soap, mirror, closet…you even feel like taking a shower to relax from your long flight to Rio. By the way, you are about to make the most difficult decision of the day:  in which bathroom you will take a shower – the blue or the green one?

You are feeling more and more satisfied with what you see. Then, you check the two bedrooms. One of them has air-conditioned and both have ceiling fans.  There are closets for clothes on both bedrooms as well as clean linen and everything you need for a recovering night of sleep after a night out in Rio de Janeiro — afterall, the night life is right there in Ipanema, at walking distance from your apartment.

You are in the heart of Ipanema, where everything happens and you are happy because the apartment is what you had expected. You confirm with your own eyes that the flat is great value for your money — fantastic location, clean, fully-furnished, roomy and safe (doorman 24hs/7).

It’s time to celebrate life and your vacation. You go for a shower, put on light clothes and go for a drink at a bar just one block from your apartment. Guess which one? At the famous Girl from Ipanema bar-restaurant where the girl from Ipanema herself used to go to buy cigarettes for her mother!

Yes, you too, can live a few days like a local at a private apartment just two blocks from the beach of Ipanema.  Send an email now to madson@tourguiderio.com to block the dates you need before someone else does it.
