We had an amazing time at Carla’s apartment in Ipanema! The apartment is very spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, a living and dining area, office, and small kitchen and laundry area. The washing machine definitely came in handy after days at the beach. The location is amazing - only 2 blocks from posto 8 on Ipanema Beach, across from a park/square with a market every other day or so, same block as the metro station, and surrounded by great restaurants and bars. The 24 hour doorman was super convenient and made us feel very safe. I highly recommend Carla’s place to anyone staying in Rio!
