Celia is a wonderful hostess, very welcoming, friendly, and helps and advises you on spots to visit. The room and apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos, impeccable and cosy. She also makes you a delicious breakfast each morning with fresh juice and coffee that sets you up for the day. I'd love to stay again. And the location of the apartment, just a few blocks from Ipanema beach, buses and the metro, is fantastic.
