My experience with Diana was wonderful. I spent a week in Rio by myself over my birthday, and Diana not only made me feel instantly like family (she referred to me as her granddaughter and had me Skype with her and her family in the states), but she also took time to show me around Rio during the first couple days that I was there. She was even kind enough to throw me a birthday party with cake and gifts! I honestly could not have asked for a better stay in Rio de Janeiro. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, very clean and inviting, overlooking Fort Copacabana and the ocean. The location of the apartment is also perfect: Only 1 block away from Copacabana beach and about 4 blocks away from Ipanema and Arpoador. This location was ideal, because I didn't need to take a bus or a taxi to get to any of beaches. My time with Diana truly exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely be staying with her again in the future. Thank you, Diana!
