Marina’s place was perfect for our week long trip to Rio. It’s located less than 5 minutes away from Ipanema beach and near 3 supermarkets. It’s also very close to a metro station for easy access to other areas of Rio, and a 15 min taxi ride away from Christ the redeemer.
Although some say that the Ipanema/copacabana area can be unsafe at night, we never felt worried or unsafe ourselves staying at Marina’s place. There’s a 24 hour doorman and the street is well lit and easy to access taxis or Uber’s.
The apartment itself is well furnished and has all the amenities you might need for a stay in Rio!
