The apartment was great! It's in an excellent location abut 2 mins walk to ipanema beach and 2-5 mins to great resturants and bars. The apartment was clean and really well set out for a couple. The decor and bedding was nice - not like some other short term rentals! Vania was quick at responding and even got her brother there for when we checked in as her English wasn't strong. Would definitely recommmend!
