Vera's apartment is located in a good area on Ipanema, close to a lots of good restaurants and bars. The private room I rented is a loft accessible through a small wooden staircase inside the house. It can be challenging to get heavy bag up the staircase. The room is small, basic and functional. Bathroom is small and clean. The apartment is fairly clean and no major complaints. Vera was nice and welcoming during the stay.
