Juliana's place is excellent. The front balcony faces a park, and they have a market there to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. The back balcony with the hammock is a great way to relax after the beach. The apartment is 3mins from Ipanema beach, and there are lots of restaurants and cafes in the area. This location is perfect and it's a comfortable and safe walk to Copacabana and Leblon.
