A small but comfortable, renovated one-bedroom apartment with queen-size bed, AC, fully equipped kitchen and fast internet in a privileged location between Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, 10 metres from the General Osorio subway station. Other things to note IPANEMA Ipanema is a neighbourhood that typifies the best of Rio de Janeiro. There's a legendary beach, a bustling nightlife, beautiful people with bronzed gym-carved bodies, restaurants and cafes, sophisticated shopping, cultural centres and museums. Everything is within walking distance, and it's easy to find your way around. Streets are designed in a grid, and you have the beach and Lagoa as your references. If you have only one day in Rio, and you want to experience the city like a local instead of a tourist, this is the place to head to. Information courtesy of Traveleye guide. COPACABANA It is impossible to think of Brazilian beaches without the fabled neighbourhood of Copacabana first coming to mind. Located south of Rio de Janeiro's city centre, this four kilometre strip provides an animated mix of adventure and sights. Swimming in its crystal blue waters, relaxing on its sun-drenched sand, taking part in a game of beach football or volleyball and experiencing breathtaking landscapes are all part of the lure. It is after the sun goes down that Copacabana's charm arguably becomes most evident. Begin the night by sipping a Caipirinha (Brazilian cocktail) at one of the many beachside bars to the sound of a dreamy bossa nova or an addictively upbeat samba — world famous music genres that were born in this rhythmic and sensuous city. For party-goers, there is an endless array of trendy bars and pulsating nightclubs on offer. Copacabana beach was termed after the deluxe vip Copacabana Palace Hotel which launched in 1920. The allure of the wide white sand beach, 24 hour-a-day parties, bikini-clad girls, magnificent restaurants, energetic bars and night clubs, will quickly obtain and maintain your attention throughout your stay in Rio de Janeiro.
