This is the place to be! I’ve stayed in several parts of ipanema and copacabana and this is the best by far. Being a block down from Pirajá means you don’t feel like you’re exposed to the heavy traffic and loud noises, but also means the best shopping and food is just a few footsteps away. You won’t need ubers nearly as often here because it is so central. And the best zona sul in town is just a couple doors down making it easy to stock up what you need when you need. I would definitely recommend!
