Laura's place is even nicer then the pictures suggest. Although small it is in a very nice building and amazing location, just 2 blocks from Ipanema Beach, can't beat it. The place is very clean, and everything inside is brand new, from the furniture to the household utensils, it was all brand new. Even the bedding and pillows was brand new. The sofa's convert into a spacious but very firm bed. I will keep this place in mind for next time I come to town.
