This apartment is in a very nice and secure neighbourhood in Rio. The pictures does it justice, and it’s clean and have all the amenities you need. It is just a 5 min walk to Ipanema beach, post 8, and has many bars and restaurants close by. We were 6 people staying for 6 days and spending New Years in Rio, so we could just walk to Copacabana beach to experience the amazing fireworks. As always when in a big city, take precautions and you will be safe. The host, Henrique, was helpful and answered all our questions. He’s a local, Carioca, so he knows his city and can give you tips! We recommend everybody to stay here!! Thanks Rio!! Amazing city and people 🇧🇷 saudades!
