Perfect location! Close to everything. Right between the Lagoa and the Ipanema Beach. You have upscale shops and restaurants, but also affordable bars where you can drink and eat like a local nearby. Easy access to public transportation. The hosts were really approachable and helpful. The apartment is small (great for a couple or three people) but very clean and well appointed. It is in a residencial building and the neighbors are really nice. I highly recommend it. Had a great experience.
