Monica was a very warm host who had detailed maps of Rio available at the apartment, which she explained beautifully. I even went to some of the restaurants and vars she recommended and they were all great. She was caring and helpful, and even booked my taxi to the airport when I was leaving. The Apartment is comfortable, clean, well-kept, cute, and literally 5 minutes from both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. It was perfect for me, as I was travelling alone, but I feel it would be just as comfortable for two. It was a pleasure staying at her flat and I recommend it highly! Eu the amo, Monica!
