My husband and I have just returned from spending 10 nights here and found Monica to be a fab host. So welcoming and always contactable if we needed her. She was waiting for us when we arrived, showed us around the apartment and gave us some handy tips for cafés/eating out and local directions.
The apartment was spotless, modern with great wifi- perfect and had everything we needed, very well equipped. Really comfortable bed too, with great bedding! Found the apartment to be very safe too with a very friendly security guy at the entrance. We cooked in the apartment a couple of times and no problems there- cooking facilities, plenty of untensils, dishes, cleaning products etc.
Only a could of blocks from Copacabana beach, and within walking distance to Ipanema, we loved the location and felt safe walking around day and night.
The apartment was walking distance to supermarkets, shops, bars and the underground metro- ideal! We would definite recommend! Thanks Monica :)
