This place is in a great location: less than a 5-minute walk to Ipanema Beach; about a 10-minute walk to Copacabana Beach (same street; opposite directions). The place has a strong WiFi signal, blender, fridge, microwave, and a two-burner stove. That is, the essentials for a short or long stay in Rio. I would just like to share an area of opportunity: a better mattress.
