Incredible Location... as we say in the USA, Location, Location, Location! Equidistant between Ipanema and Copa Cabana you just can't get much better if you are looking to be central to multiple touristy things that you might want to do. Multiple places to get groceries in a 1 block radius, and multiple food choices as well. And of course expanding to 5 or more blocks your food choices are nearly unlimited. The apartment itself was great. I am the type of traveler that likes to stay in a place for a while, and Im not really interested in having a view of that one beach wherever I go. Instead id rather be close to multiple beaches and multiple cultural things to do. This apartment has everything you need to be close to everything, to cook your food, to clean your clothes and large enough to never feel claustrophobic. A truly great find!
