Rosali was waiting for us at the apartment and went to great pains to show us how everything worked. She had also provided breakfast stuff for us which was a really nice touch.

The apartment is superbly located on a road connecting Ipanema beach and Copacabana beach and each is about 5 minutes walk. It is also less than a 10 minute walk from the metro.

The apartment itself is a gem with a good size living room, TV room, 2 bed/2 bath and a decent sized kitchen. It also had good WIFI which was most helpful.

The combination of the apartment, the location and the host made it a great experience.
