We had an AMAZING stay here. The host was great with communication and accommodating us. Its a 5 minute walk from Ipanema beach, and about 10 to Copacabana. The area is PERFECT to get the experience of both beaches, or as the Brasilians call it 'Copanema'. I couldn't recommend this airbnb enough - we got super lucky. If we ever decide to come back, this will be the first place I try to book again!
