The flat is equipped with Internet access, air conditioning and little luxuries like a DVD player and CD player. The Ipanema district represents an excellent blend of all of the best that Rio de Janeiro has to offer: a gorgeous beach, fine dining, sophisticated shopping and bustling nightlife. Art galleries and bijou boutiques line the streets and the Ipanema district is only around 20 minutes from downtown Rio.

Rio�s legendary Carnival takes place between 25th-28th February, at the height of the city�s summer season. Distantly related to the carnival balls of Italy, the Rio Carnival has attracted worldwide attention since the 1930s and it continues to attract visitors from all over the globe. The famous Samba Parade, which now takes place in a custom-built stadium, is broadcast to dozens of countries and attended by something in the region of 90,000 live spectators and tens of thousands of dancers. Elsewhere, more than forty blocks of the city are devoted to raucous street festivities which attract a further million revelers. With all this taking place just minutes from the city�s beautiful oceanfront, the Rio Carnival is generally considered one of the best parties on earth.
