My host Roberto greeted my friend and I once we arrived and showed us around the Duplex Penthouse which was in amazing condition. The location of the penthouse was right in the neighborhood of Ipanema, only 3 to 4 blocks away from the Beach and with amazing restaurants and bars within walking distance of this safe neighborhood. If you want to stay at a location which reminds you very similar to Miami's South Beach but with friendlier locals. This is the spot to be!
