Our stay in Karina's apartment was great. She was very friendly and helpful all the time. The place is exactly as it is shown. Beds are confortable and kitchen has everything you might need during a short stay. However, a microwave oven would be very welcome. We safely walked a lot around Ipanema's area, which was very exciting by all the shops, markets and restaurants. If you are coming to Rio, do not hesitate in booking her apartment.
