“This place took our trip to a different level. With the most incredible 360° views from Ipanema Beach to Christ the Redeemer. This house was so beautiful, kept clean and tidy, and close to everything we needed. Ryan made a book with recommendations for where to eat and what to do — so helpful. He let us check in early, left us a welcome gift, and really went above and beyond for us. Whenever I’m in town, I will definitely book again!”
“Ryan’s penthouse in Ipanema was an absolute dream! This place is truly unique, with breathtaking panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro that took our breath away. The recent renovation is incredible, with the designer’s touch evident everywhere. The terrace — the pool, the gourmet kitchen area, the elegant sitting area — was all perfect for relaxing. The location couldn’t be better. Ryan was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We can’t wait to go back!”
“Ryan’s Rio Penthouse is a true gem. The space is clean, well-decorated, and a multi-story penthouse with incredible views on every level. The bed and sofa are comfortable and there are several bathrooms. The private outdoor patio, the pool, and the sitting area on top of the building are perfect for relaxing, eating, soaking up the sun and sounds of Ipanema. Ryan himself was the perfect host. This will be one of our most memorable and enjoyable experiences ever.”
