Great Reporting. Approach
Ibrahimovic,
Thanks for all your great reports. As a fan of festas, especially appreciated the link to these girls.

"Thanks for any info as I am in the process of updating my master list for Brazil."
That one sentence is gold. Having a game plan when you are visiting a country with limited time is everything. If you are travelling to a particular area of the city, you also should have Plan be and see if Plan A doesn't work out. I tend to shop and research the massage places online and make appointments which usually works. But what if doesn't. Girl doesn't show. Regular shows up. Bad experience, etc; then go to other plans. That doesn't mean there are days when you don't do field research, it just means you need to have a plan to make the most of your time. Developing a master list (names, addresses, websites, phone numbers is the way to go). Equally important is a list of places to avoid.
Best option for place to stay
Hello, I will be traveling to Rio for the first time in July. I have read the past 5-10 pages of comments that seem to have good information. I have traveled extensively in Europe but only a small amount in South America (Buenos Aires). I will be in Santiago for 3 weeks for business and will end my trip with 4 days in Rio. Since I know very little about Rio I am looking for some advice of where to stay in Rio. Some other Brazilians I work with mentioned Ipanema is a good area to stay. I will be traveling with some other co-workers (non-Brazilian) and they want to stay in this area. If I play I will venture off on my own so location near to termas and such is not important. My friends will want to be near the beach. I would be grateful for some recommendations of good places to stay such as hotels in this area. I have also read AirBnB is also popular in Rio. Is this a better option than a hotel? If you know of good apartments to look at that would also be helpful. I can read reviews online but recommendations from others who know Rio well are more valuable.
Thanks for any advice.
BB.
