Monica and the home are fabulous. It is extremely well-located for access to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches in a safe and beautiful tree-lined street. The apartment has every amenity you could want/need and is very clean and comfortable. Monica is incredibly communicative and helpful upon checking in (she is very flexible and also has a super helpful book with things to do, eat, see, etc.) that makes the arrival to Rio so much easier. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Monica!
