We were a group of 6 people staying during carnaval.
Apartment is simple but ideal for people wishing to spend most of their time exploring the wonderful city of Rio. It has everything you need: kitchen utensils, blender, coffee machine, washer etc. There are 2 supermarkets super close by, making cooking there very convenient.
It’s also very close to the beach (Ipanema) and the metro station (not even 5’ walking).
We had a blast there!
The only negative point which is totally out of our hosts’ control is that a shooting happened right in front of our place when we were there. Fortunately everyone was safe but this was a reminder that no matter how festive Rio can be, one should always be extremely careful, especially around the entrance of the favelas.
Looking froward to going back to Rio very soon nevertheless!
