Isabella lives in the best possible location! As a woman traveling alone, I felt so safe there. Isabella also gave helpful advice on where to go and areas to avoid. Her home is equidistant from Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, lots of sweet restaurants and cafes within one block... perfect. She was also kind enough to show me around the neighborhood for a day. Seeing Rio through Isabella's eyes is an experience you don't want to miss! She grew up in the neighborhood and has such an interesting perspective on Brazilian life and the transformations happening in Rio. Thank you Isabella for making my short trip to Rio so memorable :)
