Silvia and her husband Daniel are fantastic hosts. Super responsive, and upon arrival Daniel gave us a nice tour of the apartment with local recommendations.

The only thing I didn't like about Rio and this apartment is that our stay was so short! As first time Rio visitors, we loved that location - it's just a few blocks off the beach and pretty central to both Ipanema and Copacabana. Leblon is also walkable and has some great restaurants that we enjoyed. Highly recommend.
