We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful apartment. The hosts were both welcoming and responsive. We felt right at home. It was easy to check-in and they were kind enough to let us check-in early. The apartment is comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It is close to everything you need including the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, as well as wonderful restaurants and supermarkets. We'd definitely stay here again! Enjoy!
