We needed a place in ipanema for a family reunion and found Silvia and Daniel's lovely apartment on airbnb. The apartment is perfectly located and impeccably maintained. The furnishings are very clean, tastefully chosen and both Silvia and Daniel live in the building next door, so any issues are promptly dealt with. The beach, the subway stop, a Zona Sul grocery store and the local farmers market are all right outside, as are some excellent cafes and bars. We had a perfect stay here and both Silvia and Daniel were warm and responsive hosts. Congratulations on your upcoming addition to the family too. We hope to stay there again on our next trip to Rio and recommend it to any friends traveling there. Cheers
