Paula’s place is an incredible value in what is arguably one of the best locations in Rio. And you could not find a nicer and more accommodating host. This part of Ipanema has easy walking/biking access to Copacabana, Ipanema, Arpoador and Leblon beaches, and just about anywhere else in the city via bus lines on the doorstep and the Gen. Osório metrô stop a block away. Best of all, it faces the back of the building so it is legitimately quiet. A 24h grocery a block away and pharmacies, every conceivable service and scores of boutiques are just steps away in either direction. And having a doorman 24x7 is also nice, so is the garage parking spot (a luxury!)
