Fabiola's apartment is a well-designed, clean studio with stylish touches - I particularly appreciated the pocked bathroom door that has a silhouette of Rio's iconic mountains. It was the perfect sanctuary to retreat to after a long day of exploring the city and there's lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby too. The location was well situated for exploring Ipanema and Copacabana, since it's situated right where the two areas meet. Since the apartment has 24-hour security, I felt safe there as a solo female traveler. Fabiola's mother was promptly waiting for me when I arrived and Fabiola herself came to meet me when I checked out of the apartment. Overall, it was a great experience!
