Silvia and her husband were great hosts who shared their knowledge of Ipanema and the city. We were two adult children and their parents and the space was fine for the four of us. Silvia charmed Mum with her welcome bananas and put her mind at rest regarding safety in the neighbourhood. This was absolutely the perfect location for the Olympics - mere steps from the new Line 4 Metro station and a few more minutes walk to the General Ossorria Station. Within 5 minutes walk of Ipanema Beach and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. Doormen were also friendly and helpful. A wonderful week
