A great apartment located in an excellent location in Ipanema. Silvia and her husband Daniel were excellent hosts, both very accommodating and eager to help us plan our time in the city. We spent the week of Carnival in the apartment and it couldn't have been more fun. We were a group of four, two couples, and the apartment was perfect for us. There is high speed internet and 24 hour security plus the owners live less than a block away. This is an ideal location for anyone interested in Copa and Ipanema as you can walk to both beaches and it is only one block to Ipanema. There are tons of restaurants and all the necessary amenities within 1 - 2 blocks of the apartment. I very highly recommend this apartment
