Amazing apartment located in a great area, just at the end of Ipanema and at the beginning of Leblon, only 2 mins from the beach. These two areas (Ipanema and Leblon) really are the safest and nicest in Rio as my internet research suggested pre-travel. There are lots of things to do in terms of restaurants, bars, beach, etc. and Copacabana beach is not that far as well. The host was incredibly responsive and very very nice. I really appreciated his max flexibility with check in and check out and he was also proactive to ask if we needed anything and sent us a lot of local recommendations. Overall just a very good vibe from the host and the apartment is very nice with a decent view and in a very well serviced building with concierge (front desk), looks beautiful. Loved my stay here!
