This was my first time in RIO and my experience in Ipanema was Fantastic! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!! THE PERFECT LOCATION! The apartment was located 2 blocks from Ipanema beach Posto 8, few mins walk to Copacabana beach and half a block from Zona Sul super market ( very convenient ) ! The area is very safe!!! All the shops, restaurants, bars and transportation are right down the street! The apartment has everything you need and very comfortable. Paula is very friendly and extremely helpful. She did everything to help us and make our stay smooth and enjoyable. Thank you :)
