I had a TERRIFIC stay at Goya's place. I stayed over the busy New Year's period and you could not have asked for a better location in Ipanema. It's a 3 minute walk to the beach and in the center of everything. The apartment is exactly as it looked. Perfect for a single person or a couple. The a/c worked great, the shower pressure was strong, Wi-Fi was fast and it was quiet even during such a busy holiday period. Goya was extremely responsive from initial booking, check-in, throughout my stay as needed and at check-out. I foolishly locked myself out and Goya sent the housekeeper to let me in within 15 to 20 minutes! Book here with confidence on your trip to Rio!!
