We stayed for nearly two months in Diana's apartment in Ipanema and loved it! The place is located amazingly well right next to General Osório park and metro, only two blocks from the beach with all the amenities around the corner. I traveled with a baby and a babysitter and we really enjoyed the homey place which is a typical older Brazilian zona sul flat with nostalgic paraphernalia. It has a great view of the sea, lots of light and wooden floors that were safe for the baby who learned to walk in Brazil. There are three rooms and two bathrooms, which was great as we both could have our own spaces. The apartment was well equipped and Diana was great to even buy a washing machine, which was vital for our stay. She was also extremely helpful with everything - I needed a faster internet connection due to my work and she had it installed before we arrived. She had left baby sheets and beach toys for the little one and the morning we arrived from Europe there was even food waiting for us in the fridge. Although we never saw Diana we always were helped by the kind doorman Zé. Once we had an issue with the gas heater and Zé would immediately come and fix it. I would totally recommend Diana as a host and the apartment for a comfortable stay in one of Rio's most beautiful and practical neighborhoods.
