Very safe, doorman 24/7 with gated entry to the condo. One minute walk to the beach & to a grocery store. Surrounded by tons of restaurants (try a picanha at Garota De Ipanema!) The place itself is as pictured. We were 3 and it was perfect amount of space. Really appreciated Silvia's communication throughout our stay. Highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a clean and safe place in Rio.
