This apartment is located in one of the best neighborhoods of Rio! It is only two blocks away from Posto 9 on Ipanema beach and between many great shops on Visconde de Piraja and only a few blocks away from the Metro. I stayed here for 9 days and I loved it! The apartment is exactly as in the pictures and very clean! Rose is such a great hostess! She is very nice and very helpful. She was always quickly replying to my messages with any questions I had, and she gave many great ideas about good restaurants and bars around Rio. Staying at this apartment allowed me have a great experience in Rio and enjoy the real Brazilian culture. Simply....one of the best vacations I have ever had!
