Mariana and her very sweet mother were great hosts to us. Her mother was there to welcome us in the apartment. And Mariana did all the correspondention and communication. I stayed there with two of my friends. The house was perfect for us tree. And even with four persons it would be great. The house was very clean and tidy and everything was available to make our stay a very comfortable one. Location is perfect!!! Just right in the centre of Ipanema. We were really touched by the fact that Mariana her mother left us a very typical local present..... Thank you so much for everything! Hope to come back ones.
