This place has an amazing view! It straddles Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. It's located close to the action. I'd definitely stay here again. I had terrible luck with the weather...it rained the 3 days I was there. But the last day the sun came out. I was sad I couldn't fully enjoy the pool and the views because of the fog and cold air from the rain. Piero and Paula are such nice and warm hosts. It's a no brained. If you go to Rio you should try and stay here.
