This apartment is in the perfect location I stayed there for 5 weeks and loved it, everything you need is literally right at your doorstep. Ipanema beach is one block away, restaurants, cafes, gyms literally anything and everything you will need is close by. The metro station is one block away and opened a few days before i left Rio, this gives you access to all Rio has to offer. My first day there Ghizlane was waiting for me with the keys to the apartment. Let me say this about Ghizlane she is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet, anytime I needed to contact her she would get back to me immediately she always made sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay, she even got a maid to clean the apartment several times while I was there. Amazing person!!! I run my own business and I know how hard it is to find good quality people and Ghizlane is one of them, I would give her a job in a heartbeat in fact if she lived in Vancouver I would beg her to come work for me because it's so hard to find quality people like her. Ghizlane thank you for everything I couldn't have imagined a more amazing vacation in Rio. Obrigado Para Tudo!
