The apartment was in a great location close to about everything, from the metro, great restaurants, fun shopping, weekend nightclubs, bars, and of course Ipanema’s wonderful beach. There’s also a 24 hour supermarket close by that was very helpful. The neighborhood was relatively safe, and I highly recommend staying here if you want to trek to Copacabana and Leblon on foot since they’re close by. Overall I had an enchanting stay, since Rio in all is so fabulous
