Me and two friends (all 25 y/o girls) stayed at Fabio's Ipanema apartment and had a blast. It's in a perfect, safe location 2 blocks from an awesome beach with plenty of great food options nearby. Fabio was super helpful, providing restaurant and activity recommendations and was able to come by whenever we needed him. He even took us hiking with his friends and we all drank beers with locals in a favela, which was one of the highlights of our trip.

Would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you Fabio!
