We stayed at this apartment for more than 2 weeks during the Olympics. The location was perfect--easy 2 minute walk to Copacabana and 5 minutes to Ipanema. It is located in a busy neighborhood where felt completely safe walking home late at night and early in the morning. The doormen were excellent and caring. You can tell Ana takes great pride in her apartment. It is remodeled with a modern, clean aesthetic. Everything is functional and well stocked. The 2 bedrooms are large and nicely appointed. We especially appreciated the Nespresso machine. Ana was an amazing host. She was friendly and was always available to answer our questions. We always felt like we had a friend in Rio. I am so happy we chose her apartment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.
