Hotel Astoria Ipanema (antigo Mar Ipanema)
The location was great. I liked the small town vibe. A very good gelato place was across the street. Highly recommended!

Rio Habitat Almirante
The host is weird- as soon as I arrived she starts asking me to be at the apartment because there will be people who will take the mattress? Why during my arrival when I’m outside e joying the beach and I have many people up meet.After two days she starts again calling me saying they need to do repairs ...

Ocean View Copacabana Best Spot
I really loved the place, however I would suggest the host to supply cleaning products to stays that are longer than 4 days. Detergent, flooring product and perhaps an extra set of sheets and towels.
