I can't speak highly enough of Adriana's apartment! As a former Super Host, I tend to know what I'm looking for in an Airbnb and Adriana's place has it all.
The location is wonderfully central to everything you'll need/want in Ipanema and is a nice walk to Copacabana. It's near major arteries for transportation via Uber/taxi/car/bus. But it's also easily walkable to the beaches, restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Ipanema. It's an incredibly safe but vibrant area with lots of other, beautiful apartment buildings nearby and folks out and about enjoying themselves throughout the day/night.
The apartment was incredibly clean and well laid-out. There were only three of us, though initially had planned for four, and it was more than enough room. The beds were all very comfortable and we were able to stay out of each other's way if needed but it was also easy to sit around and relax after Carnival fun or a night out in Rio. The bathrooms were perfectly sized and the water pressure and hot water availability in the showers was great!
Adriana left a full refrigerator for us. Unexpected but was an incredibly thoughtful and very much appreciated surprise and overall bonus for our stay. I can't thank her enough for having done that.
In all, I recommend Adriana's apartment wholeheartedly and have even begun planning our return trip to Rio (though maybe not during Carnival - maybe New Years) and will most certainly look to staying at Adriana's apartment again.
