Two sofas face the garden windows in this Lagoa apartment, with the green water of the lagoon just beyond the trees. There are two bedrooms with a bed each, one full bathroom and a patterned rug over the wooden floors. The white kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a dark backsplash and a washing machine beside the sink. Pets are welcome, and the running path around the lagoon starts at the end of the block. A small grocery store and two cafes sit on the same corner.

    Waking up to the garden view and then cycling around the lagoon before breakfast made this apartment our favorite stay in Brazil.

    André's kitchen is better equipped than my own at home, and the bedroom stays perfectly quiet despite being so central.

    Immaculately clean, thoughtfully decorated and ten minutes from Ipanema Beach. André gave us a list of lagoon-side kiosks worth trying.

    Check-in took two minutes and the living room opens onto lush greenery. We will absolutely stay here again next year.

    Comfortable stay and a good location. The heating took a while to warm the apartment up on the first cold evening in Lagoa.

    Warm, friendly and organized — André is the kind of host who makes a new city feel easy.

Neighborhood highlights

Lagoa is built around a saltwater lagoon with a five-mile path looped around it, and half the neighborhood seems to be on that path at any hour. Kayaks and pedal boats go out from the small piers, and kiosks along the edge serve dinner under the trees. From the eastern bank the statue on the mountain stands directly above the water. Mornings here start with runners rather than with traffic.
