Izabela offers a beautiful mini apartment in the Gloria neighbourhood, the mini apartment is located in a secure building and the area seemed to us very safe. The mini apartment is three minutes’ walk from the Gloria tube station that will take you in 15/20 minutes to Copacabana or Ipanema. Largo do Machado (three stations from Gloria or 20 minutes’ walk) is where you can be picked up by the official agency to visit the Cristo Redentor.
There is many grocery shops around and the lively Lapa, with bars and restaurants is also near.
Izabela has organised everything to make us welcome and given us usefull tips during our stay, keeping regular contact to answer our needs.
