As you know, there is no was of really knowing what a property is like until you actually stay there. After arriving at the property and staying for a total of 10 nights, our expectations were exceeded. Although the host was not able to meet us due to some extenuating circumstances, she was very responsive and made arrangements that made checking in very easy. The flat itself was well maintained and the location was excellent, with an awesome view. The building was a few steps from either Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches. Would highly recommend staying here and would certainly look to stay here upon my return to Rio De Janeiro.
