Where to start. The listing is a amazing as it looks to you, in the perfect area to stay in Rio. Highly recommend Ipanema over Copacabana and Francisco’s building is located in a prime area close to the beach, park, and my favorite street of restaurants, stores, etc. There is a high volume of police in this area, and I never felt unsafe. You will also be getting the best Airbnb host I have had. Feel free to ask questions and recommendations. Francisco is a friend for life after my month-long stay. Don’t hesitate, book it!
