Wow, not just incredible value but also great location and hospitality! 1 block from Copacabana and a short distance to Ipanema. Metro around the corner and all of the shopping/restaurants/bars right outside the door. Great veranda with hammocks and dining area. Iara is a treat and helped me make the most of my time here (stayed in this apartment for 2 months off & on). Even made good friends with another traveller staying in the room next to mine. Very safe building too - overall Top!
