A good place to stay in Rio: in a nice and safe neighborhood, Leblon, not far from Ipanema. The sea is at the end of the street, which is literally 10 minutes away.
There is a 24 hours doorman. Two supermarkets around and the area is full of veggie, sushi and traditional restaurants. The place is exactly as described on the pics.
Communication with Liane is easy. I could stay there again!
