Over my 15+ trips to Rio, usually staying in (non-AirBnB) apartments, I can say that Caroline and Fabi's Ipanema apartment is the best out there. As stated by others, the location, cleanliness and views are super. We were in Rio off-season for a family wedding, so the rate was great for this type of apartment. The weather did not cooperate but hey I don't think that would've been different if we'd paid more typical Ipanema prices LOL. You won't be disappointed staying here.
