Mercedes was a great host and very accommodating to late check out, etc. We initially rented another airbnb apartment but were disappointed by the place. Mercedes and her apartment were like a breath of fresh air for us. Home was as pictured, with an amazing view of Ipanema beach on the terrace and swimming pool. She gave us tips on things to do in Rio and was quick to respond to all my questions. Don't hesitate and stay at her place if you are in Rio!
Thank you Mercedes!!
