Greatest experience ever! Just spent almost a week at Monica's apartment in Ipanema. Everything was really perfect, in line with the other reviews.
Location is perfect, super close to Ipanema beach and walking distance to several cafes and bars. Most importantly, the area is very safe. Several people and tourists on the street at every time. Easy to reach with Uber too. The apartment is beautiful, clean and essential, with a great view of Ipanema and Rio. Totally worth it and suggested!
