Just got back from two weeks in Ipanema staying at Marcelo's apartment. It was amazing. Marcelo is a fantastic host and the apartment is perfect. It is 2 minute form Ipanema beach and very close to the Copacobana as well. It is also very close to a lot of other places to visit locally.

The apartment is just right for 1 or 2 people, has everything that you need and is very comfortable. i will be going back !
Saudades ;-)
