Inês was a wonderful host. She was very welcoming. Our stay was during carnival and she gave us recommendations for parades and events. We really liked her. Her apartment is very artsy, clean and comfortable. She made us a delicious breakfast with local healthy products every morning. The neighborhood is residential and quiet but with easy access to restaurants and public transportation. The bus stop is a 5 minute walk where you can transfer to the metro and be in Copacabana or Ipanema with a short commute. We highly recommend and would stay with Inês again.
