Dalia's lovely apartment is perfectly located near Arpoador and Ipanema and beautifully appointed. Perfect for 1 or 2 people, it has a lateral view of the Copacabana and is a half-block to a jump in the water. As a bonus, all the building staff are friendly and helpful. And Dalia herself is a wonder - I'm only sad I didn't get to know her better during my stay. After a long flight from NY, the snacks she left for her guest were so welcoming and a sweet touch She has put obvious care into the apartment and is a resource for anyone who might need help navigating around Rio.

The cozy apt. comes with a small kitchen for basic needs (coffee, etc.), a comfy bed, TV, wi-fi, A/C, a warm shower, and has nice homey touches. Other reviewers mentioned noise from the street but I found no problem with that at all. And the neighborhood has every necessity, including a delicious veg-focused por kilo on the building's first floor. I definitely would recommend this apt for anyone's stay in Rio.
