The Location is ideal and super safe. one can walk and cycle easily from there in Ipanema/Leblon/Lagoa/the beach. all the services nearby, shops and restaurants make it the perfect spot to spend the best possible time in Rio. Lucia, the host, is always a whatsapp away to help and inform. Ronaldo the concierge of the building was super nice, polite and helpful ! Also the street is quiet, and so is the apartment. definitely recommend it.
