Ineke and the people that help her are super accommodating and helpful. The building itself is beautiful and the views of Rio are spectacular. The space is large, especially the rooftop. Located in Gloria, we were outside of the tourist areas (Copacabana and Ipanema), but had easy access to them by train. Every morning we would take walks along Aterro do Flamengo, the gorgeous large park along Flamengo beach. The apartment is also close to Lapa and Santa Teresa so it's great for nightlife. It would also be ideal for carnaval. Thank you, Ineke, for your wonderful accommodations!
