Oh man, I dont even know where to start. Isabella's apartment is a great GREAT location. A few minutes walk to Copacobana or Ipanema. I love running, so I ran at Copa/Ipanema 6am, and also around 8pm(as suggested by Isabella)- and her place is just so near those two popular beaches.
Yes, I got lost a bit, from Copa to her apartment, that I ended up at Ipanema- yes, its THAT close. (Getting lost is not cuz her place is hard to find, its my problem when walking to places) Her neighborhood is wonderful too! Many people walking their dogs, many pretty girls(serious), and many shops/restaurants nearby. Safety is never an issue, that I even walked Copacobana beach 11pm, and went home without incident- of course you still have to be smart.
The place itself is nice and clean. Cozy and silent. Safe too cuz theres a doorman/security.
Isabella herself is a sweet woman. Kinda hip and a health-nut. It was my first time in Rio/Brazil, and I came from the country farthest from Brazil- Philippines, yet she made me feel right at home. Answered every questions I had, and even went with me to have my dollars changed. We even went to buy food together(Isabella, I forgot my grapes in your fridge- sorry! I was in a hurry to avoid Rock in Rio traffic!), and showed me a popular local bar, where I over-ordered!
Anyway, all Im saying is, you must be crazy if you saw her listing and still have doubts. BOOK IT NOW!!!
Fun fact: Isabella interviewed Destiny's Child once, as well as Bon Jovi. He even kissed her!!! So jealous!!! Lol.
Thank you my friend!!! You made my stay in Rio AWESOME!!!
