The apartment is fantastic and Angela is a great host, always helpful and quick in responding! Unfortunately, I had little luck with the weather, but the cozy and well equipped apartment was all the more important! The location is excellent in the first row on the beach of Ipanema with many restaurants, grocerie stores and bars nearby. Everything you need is available, the building is clean and the staff professional. I felt very comfortable and safe the entire time. Always happy to return, great job!
