Claudia's apartment is truly one of a kind. It's beautifully decorated and it is very clear that she put a lot of effort into making sure everything is top-notch: from bed linens to towels, kitchen appliances, smart TVs, etc -- everything is high-quality. The outside area with the pool is also quite nice and adds to a cozy atmosphere.
The apartment is located in the best part of Ipanema, within walking distance from some of the best restaurants and bars. It's also only a couple blocks away from the beach (Posto 10) and about the same distance from the beautiful Lagoa (lagoon). I felt safe waking around the neighborhood.
Claudia is great at communicating with guests and sent us detailed instructions on everything related to our stay. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. I definitely recommend her place for anyone visiting Rio!
