stayed for 6 months. location in between copa and ipanema. choice of both beaches were a great option. much light and trees by made it easy for me to not leave the apartment. not much noise from the building and the streets created a peaceful vibe. the apartment is comfortable and spacious. the doorman and surrounding areas made me feel quite safe. for such a long stay and to not have any issues was wonderful! i really do love the area. thanks and look forward to returning.
