Wow! I love Erika's apartment, it's contemporary, clean and comfortable. The feel is warm and homely without being fussy. A lovely location .. Short walk from copacabana beach and ipanema. The neighbourhood feels safe and is buzzy with lots of bars and restaurants. Erika is the perfect host... Kind, helpful and flexible too. I never got to meet her yet which is a shame as she sounds like a fun person. I really like the view from the living room too .. But that's personal taste. There's a 24 hour concierge here which makes life v easy. Anna is at the desk on alternate days... She speaks good English and has great tips on the area. The wifi works perfectly and is fast. Bathrooms are simple, clean and functional. In short, this feels like home away from home to me and I would highly recommend staying here and hopefully will be back. Thank you Erika xxx
