Silvia and Daniel were amazing hosts and their apartment is in the perfect location for access to Ipanema beach only a block away. We couldn't have asked for more from an apartment for our stay in Rio. It was also very convenient to have a supermarket across the street for all of the essentials, as well as a number of great restaurants nearby. Daniel was also kind enough to offer a number of great recommendations for restaurants and an impromptu Portugese lesson when we arrived so that we knew the basics. I would highly recommend their apartment for those looking to stay in Rio.
