Ipanema Inn is a perfect landing spot for a trip to Rio. 1 block from the beach, 1 block to the Metro. Very nice neighborhood. And, not the least, hospitality is above and beyond. Our room was super clean and after staying for a week my husband and I feel rested.

I really enjoyed my stay at this property. It was convenient, within walking distance of so many cool places. The property was clean, the breakfast delicious, and the staff was awesome. The only downside was that the building is on the older side and does show signs of needed maintenance.
