The apartment is located within a 5 to 6 minute walk of the beach. It’s right in the middle of Copacabana & Ipanema so you’d have the chance to see both beaches without having to use an Uber if you wish to walk. The apartment is also in walking distance to several great breakfast & dinner spots in which you can dine in or grab & go if you’re in a rush. If you’re an American who’s craving something more familiar, you’ll be within a 5 minute walk of both McDonald’s & Burger King. Tery is an amazing host. She’s very helpful. I had to make last minute changes to my reservation and she was very accommodating. There wasn’t anything I needed that Tery didn’t do her best to provide. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet get away that allows you the flexibility & convenience of seeing all of Copacabana & Ipanema to book this! You won’t regret it.
