Ingrid was and is a most gracious host. She is quick to respond and always willing to help. She goes above and beyond a typical Airbnb host. The studio apartment is in the heart of Copacabana which tends to get very busy. However, the apartment is three blocks from the beach, has every amenity within a blocks radius, and has easy access to other neighborhoods such as Ipanema and Botofogo. The apartment has amazing wi-fi (skyping is easy), a washing machine, and kitchen wares (sandwich maker!). My husband and I are staying in this studio for a year and couldn't be happier with it.
