Everything was great with the apartment during my month long stay. Mariana is an excellent host, very friendly and she was very helpful to address my requests. The apartment is located in the best location of Zona Sul, a few minutes from Ipanema Beach (my favorite), as well as Copacabana. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, also grocery store and pharmacy. Every Sunday on General Osório Square there is a famous Hippie market, with many local artists. Overall, it was a great stay and I am grateful for the excellent hostage. I will be definitely back one day in future.
