This was a perfect apartment for us in the ideal location. Ipanema is a such nice area to base yourself in Rio, and this apartment is perfectly situated for easy access to the beach, bars, and restaurants. felt like a very safe area at night, with police on many of the corners and plenty if people about. The host was lovely and helpful, checking on us to ensure we were happy with everything in the apartment, though we had everything we needed without asking anyway. A great place, great value, and a great host, well clean building, apartment and comfortable as well.., We had an amazing experience there, Would recommend it for sure, thank you very much for everything...!!
