I loved staying at Elena’s place - I felt so at home here! The flat was cosy but very spacious, the bed was very comfortable and there was everything needed to enjoy a short or long term stay. Elena was extremely helpful with local recommendations and even helped me get a SIM card when I first arrived. The area was perfect, 5-7 mins walk to Ipanema beach and many restaurants, bars, cafes. Little touches like the coffee machine and kitchen amenities also made the stay extra comfortable! Thank you so much Elena :)
