Dalia's place is a perfect location for Rio. You are very close to Cocacabana beach and Ipanema is just around the corner. The area is safe with good sercurity. The apartment was perfect for my needs with ample room and all the amenities required. Dalia was an invaluable source of information and she even gave me a guided tour of Ipanema and the amazing tropical fruit market. Thoroughly recommend this place!
