Goya was a gracious host and was part of a great experience that I had in Brazil. I got delayed coming from my previous accommodation, and Goya was great in communicating to me and left easy directions for obtaining the keys. The place was just as advertised. Clean, very nice, 1.5 blocks from the beach, and next to some nice restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend this place to any traveling to Rio and looking to stay in the Ipanema area, as both Goya and her place excellent.
