We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment is very charming and thoughtfully decorated and Julia was very careful with all the details, like for example, including a baby shampoo and soap for our kid. She was also flexible with our check in and check out times.
The location is great! In one of the best areas of Ipanema, right by the beach, close to great restaurants and stores and also the subway.
The building has a disembarking area in front that makes it easier for a cab or Uber to pick you up. We had a car seat, and that made it easier to install it when we needed it.
We'll definitely stay in Julia's apartment on our next visits.
