This place is located on a busy street in an amazing location of Ipanema. Lots of restaurants, fast foods, gyms, pharmacy, breakfast, coffee shops, grocery stores. All you could basically need is within 3-10 min walk max., 6 min walk to the beach. The flat isn’t the most modern but was very clean. I wouldnt wander around at night as you can see some dodgy people around day/night but thats normal. There’s a watchman all times in the building which gave us a safer feeling. Fernando was great, helpful and promptly posted my charger that I forgot in the flat when we left. Would recommend the stay if you want a cozy and fair budget place.
