The contact with Paula was very good.
Although she currently stays in Argentine, her e-mail responses were very reliable and quick.
The best thing about the apartment is its location: very close to the sea, just on the border between Ipanema and Leblon. The apartment is well equipped and clean and everything was just working fine - everything besides the hot water which suddenly and unexpectedly turns into cold. We tried to deal with this but it did not succeed every time.
We recomment the place warmly
