I stayed in Silvia and Daniel's apartment for a month, for two weeks by myself and for two weeks with my wife and daughter. The apartment is wonderful, and could not be better placed in the city. It is a block from Ipanema, about 5 blocks from Copacabana, a block from the last metro stop, and has the best grocery store right in front. Silvia and Daniel were extremely helpful with any issues or questions, and responded immediately whenever I called. Conveniently, they live just a few buildings away. The building is quiet and safe, with friendly doormen (representing 3 generations of the same nordestina family). I will gladly rent from Silvia and Daniel again.
