This is a great place to stay, in the heart of Ipanema about 3 or 4 blocks from Ipanema beach, very safe place, very spacious, clean, and Solange was a wonderful host even though she lives in another state she was always prompt in her responses, the check in/ out process was very easy . It’s a great value, every time we go back to Rio that’s where we are staying at. Wonderful location !!!
