The place is super close walking distance to Ipanema - basically when you exit the house, you can see the beach. It's also close walking distance to Copacabana, about 4 blocks down. My friend and I enjoyed walking around both beaches!
There's a supermarket super close by, and also lots of food options to go to.
The apartment is very lovely, with lots of space for two, nice bathrooms (1.5 bathrooms!) and a great hammock you can chill and relax with.
Rafael is a great host, super responsive, and very helpful with everything!
Would totally book this house again if I ever were to visit Rio again!
Thank you Rafa for a great experience!
