Excellent location in Ipanema, right in the middle of stuff! Marianty is a wonderful host, the apartment is large, clean, modern and comfortable. There are restaurants, bars and small shops all around. By not being on the beachfront, it's much quieter, and the vegetation keeps it cool without the need to use aircon.

It's also a very safe neighborhood—had no problems walking out to pick some food around midnight, as Ipanema is still alive at that time of the day!
