Excellent location! You can explore Copabana and Ipanema on foot. You can take the bus downstairs to Leblon and Leme. You can also take the metro a few blocks away at Praza Osorio to any spot in Río. The partment was crystal clean and comfortable. And it is close to the farmer's market at Rua Rainha (just two blocks away) on Sunday mornings (excellent fruit, vegetables and fish). Also on Sundays, go to the Feira Hippie de Ipanema on Praza Osorio. Great Bahía cuisine (try the acarajé), stuff to bring home (crafts) and homebrews. Close to supermarkets on Nossa Senhora de Copacabana. We really enjoyed our stay and hope we can come back in the future. Thanks, Philip!
