We were 5 five young guys, in Rio to train Jiu Jitsu.
We haven't see Maria who wasn't in Rio at this moment. Instead Lucia was the person in charge to hosting us and i got to say she was perfect!!! Always available and smiling, she gave us a lot of tips about local life.
The apartment match the photos and is perfect for younger people who can deal with a noisy neighborhood (the favela located behind). Yet, beautiful views over it from the bedrooms windows. You will enjoy the large living room and definitely, the amazing couch after a day of hard training!!! Couldn't find a better location in Ipanema, close to a lot of shops and restaurants, 7 minutes from the subway.
