Your search is over if you are looking for the ideal place to stay in Rio. This apartment has it all. Location, comfort, cleanliness, and the best hosts. We only had a few days in Ipanema Beach and we were so thrilled to have found this spot. Across the street from the Sunday Hippie Fair where artisans sell their beautiful wares; two short blocks to the beach; across the street from the supermarket where you can find all you need; on the street of great restaurants, across from the park, 24 hour doorman, friendly, warm people everywhere. Buses to go everywhere, cabs available easily. Daniel and Silvia are the perfect hosts- gave us everything we needed with extra touches- like towels for the beach and cold bottles of water in the refrigerator.
I cannot say enough good things about this stay, about these hosts, about this apartment. We simply had the very best time in the magical city of Rio de Janeiro and we are forever grateful to Airbnb for this connection.
