This place is great. We stayed in a couple hotels in several parts of the city: Copacabana, Lapa, and Ipanema. This was our favorite place we stayed in Rio and Hanna was a great host. She offered quick responses and answers to all of our questions. There are GREAT restaurants in walking distance, our favorite was called 'Formidable', we highly recommend it. If you're looking for a cute studio in a safe and walkable part of Ipanema, this is your best bet!
