Apartment vacation rentals in Ilha da Gigóia

This place offered stunning views and had a sleek, modern feel. Just a short walk from Copacabana Beach, it was perfectly located for exploring all areas of Rio. Matheus gave me a warm welcome, and Carolina was incredibly helpful and quick to respond via Airbnb Messaging. Staying in the favela was a unique and unforgettable experience—the locals were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it!

I loved the stay! Zé Carlos was super attentive and helpful the whole time. The apartment was spotlessly clean and has all the necessary household utensils. In addition, it has easy access and the street next door offers several options for bars, restaurants, pharmacies and markets. I will definitely come back more often — everything was perfect! ❤️

A good place to stay, very centrally located if you want to go by bus or subway, as you can get around the city using public transportation. If you want to use Uber and go to the beaches, the price is around 40 Reals. At the entrance they were always attentive to the entrance and there were never any problems with delays. Of course, at night it is a place with almost no people (like almost all of downtown Rio) and it is dark. It was not unsafe at any time but keep that in mind. If you want to stay in the center to be close to the classic area of RJ, it's a good place. We walked to the cathedral, arcos de Lapa, escalera de selaron and many other attractions.

This was our third time staying at Cristina’s place, and it was just as great as always. The apartment is well-equipped with everything we need—dishwasher, washing machine, air fryer, and coffee machines—making it feel like home. The location is perfect, close to the metro and with easy boat access to the island, even late at night. Cristina is an amazing host, always responsive and helpful, even providing discount vouchers for local restaurants. We’ll definitely be back again!

Very nice apartment, as described. Sensational view from the left corner of Barra!! I'll be back.

My wife and I stayed for 3 weeks. Great neighborhood. Friendly people that worked in the building. Also met some nice neighbors. Very updated interior or apartment. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Eno was easy to communicate with. Obrigado!

Very stylish beachfront loft with beautiful views of Barra Beach. The loft has everything you need for a peaceful and comfortable stay. Conveniently located near Beach Bars and a quick 5min walk to Avenida Olegário Maciel loaded with restaurants, bars, a gym, and supermarkets. The front desk is very helpful during your stay. If you are looking for a less touristy spot near Rio with less hustle & bustle than Copacabana, this is the spot at a great rate.

I had a wonderful stay at Paulo's place! The space was spotless, cozy, and even better than described in the listing. Check-in was smooth and communication was prompt and helpful throughout. The neighborhood was peaceful and conveniently located near a variety of shops & restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We had a wonderful stay at Luiza’s beautiful Ipanema apartment! 🌴✨ The space is exactly as shown in the photos—light, stylish, and incredibly peaceful, just a stone’s throw from the beach and close to great bars and restaurants. Luiza was an exceptional host—friendly, communicative, and very accommodating. We arrived a couple of hours early, and she kindly let us drop off our bags so we could start exploring straight away. She also gave us fantastic local recommendations that really added to our Rio experience. We’d definitely love to stay here again—thank you, Luiza, for making our time in Rio so memorable! 🌊🌞

Location, Location, Location...this place was perfectly situated on Ipanema Beach! The view from the balcony was breathtaking! The host was very welcoming and accommodative. We wouldn't hesitate staying here if we are ever in Rio again.

Ana Paula, very friendly and quick to respond! Their service was great and the apartment was very clean and as shown in the photos. 100% recommended!

I only have good things to say about the amazing day and the wonderful place I stayed in this last weekend! Loft is wonderful! Beautiful, clean and cosy! We were treated very well by Didi! And we'll definitely be back soon!! Thank you for everything!

Absolutely beautiful and picturesque! Gabby was a great host that let me check in early since my flight came in so early and this place was perfect

Guys, it was worth every penny we paid to stay there! The hosts are super attentive and polite, they respond quickly, a jaw-dropping view, I'll be back for sure

Amazing location! This is a nice area of Ipanema. Few mins walk away from the beach. Great restaurants and many stores nearby. Discovered a new favorite chocolate store Dengo and brazilian perfume store Granado few blocks away. Felt safe and secure during our whole stay. The building has a guard. Space is clean and comfortable as photos show. Jose is very helpful and easy to communicate with. Made our stay in Rio memorable. Thank you!

It was a beautiful penthouse apartment within walking distance and with beautiful views of Ipanema beach. The host was friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

The best location in Barra, the apartment matches the photos and descriptions, the building is easy to get around, it is a quiet place and the environment is always clean with the daily cleaning that is done in the apartment. Mr. Mario is very attentive and available! I'll be back!

You should be able to leave a 6-star rating. Romeu's apartment is an 11/10, it exceeds all expectations. Apartment remodeled to new, with complete equipment (for example, with towels, chairs, umbrella and beach refrigerator), everything impeccable, functional, unbeatable view, perfect condominium and location (right in front there is a supermarket and just below, a restaurant of first class international cuisine, two blocks away: pharmacies, service station, bakery, etc.), the beach in posto 7 is one of the best and quietest in Barra. Anyway, unbeatable from every angle, thank you very much Romeu and see you next time (which there will undoubtedly be).

great communication, the accommodation is perfect, very modern and clean. The host communicates before, during, after the stay to make sure everything goes well. Thank you, your accommodation allowed us to fully enjoy Rio!

We had an excellent vacation in this beautiful apartment. It's so nice that you don't want to leave the apartment. Much nicer than the photos. The balcony is very comfortable and has an unbeatable view. Carmen was very kind. We will definitely come back. I recommend it 100%, to the whole community.

Great condo and common areas! Clear instructions and easy communication with host. Perfect for families with babies! I would book again!

We had a good experience in this home. Communication with the host was quick and easy. The place was spotless, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We definitely had an amazing time and felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again! 100% recommended.

VERY NICE APARTMENT, SUPER WELL LOCATED, WITH A GREAT VIEW, TRULY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Amazing apartment to stay in Rio. Very good location, close to the beach, market, restaurant, pharmacy and subway, pleasant and cozy atmosphere.
