The apartment was great, amazing location and even better host! We were there for carnaval and we were close enough to the madness yet, it was quiet enough to sleep at night. The apartment is about 5 minutes away (walking) to Ipanema and 10 minutes to Copacabana. It is right in front of the metro and it has a supermarket and bakery in the same block. Our flight landed in the morning and Larissa was kind enough to let us check in earlier (at no extra cost). The second bedroom is small and it does not have A/C, but it was not a problem for me. We loved our stay! Thank you for your hospitality!
