Both Luiz and Salete were wonderful hosts. Friendly welcome, always thoughtful and willing to help. The apartment is modern, stylish and the location is absolutely amazing; right in the heart of Ipanema. Little details such as chocolates on the bed, or a breeze blocker in front of the AC unit made a difference. And to top it off, I travel quite a lot and experience so many different mattresses and beds; this was the most comfortable I experienced.
