This was an ideal location to experience Rio beaches. It is situated within walking distance between Ipanema (just a block!) and Copacabana. We were able to walk to many wonderful restaurants, a grocery store across the street, and the farmers market in the park. The unit is clean and sunny and had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The hosts, Sylvia and Daniel were super!! Daniel gave us a great welcome introduction to the area and Sylvia helped coordinate with our driver when my flight was delayed. They were very flexible and accommodating. We felt very welcome! Having a washing machine was great. The kitchen was useful for breakfast, but not stocked for cooking major meals. No matter to us, we ate out for lunch and dinner. I would definitely recommend this unit to two singles or two couples.
