We definitely had the best experience in Rio! And the apartment had a lot to do with it. It's beautiful! It was perfectly clean, and tidy. The location is perfect, one block and you're in Ipanema, one block to the other side and you're in Copacabana. We felt really safe around, even when we got at 3AM.
Lena is so nice and friendly! She helped us very much when we arrived, giving us lots of information about places and directions.
I wouldn't doubt about staying there again if I ever come back :)
