If ever there was a perfect spot to stay in Ipanema in a lovely building with amazing city views and a cozy room, this would be it. Everything is at your doorstep, and the building staff are helpful and sweet. Mercedes, the owner, was a gracious and very accommodating host. I had a crazy travel schedule and she was there to greet me and guide me with travel tips and suggestions based on activities I wanted to do. It was amazing advice! This was my first time in Rio traveling alone so wanted something safe, accessible, and in the middle of it all. Loved every moment of calling this home base! This was also my first time using Airbnb and it exceeded my expectations. Obrigado!
