I had an excellent staying at Thaiane and Ricardo's apartment! They welcomed me with fresh fruits, a good wine and helped me with tips of where to eat and what to do. So sweet! The apartment is even nicer than the photos, comfortable and clean. It’s only two blocks away from Ipanema’s beach and very close to public transportation, groceries, local stores and pubs. Also not that far from Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, which is incredibly beautiful, and the Copacabana beach. Certainly will come back soon and enjoy another staying there. I highly recommend.
