My friend and I had a great experience staying in Silvia's apartment. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to meet Silvia, but she was very responsive to all of my inquiries leading up to my stay. After my arrival, her husband was extremely attentive, helpful and knowledgeable, which helped us tremendously. My friend and I still talk about the long and interesting conversation we had with Daniel and how quickly he was able to get the internet working within a day. Regarding the apartment, it's in a prime and safe location a couple blocks from Ipanema beach Posto 8-9, short walking distance to Copacabana and nearby a huge variety of shops, restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Thank you Silvia and Daniel.
