Barbara really is a super host! She let me check into the apartment several hours earlier than I was supposed to, which I greatly appreciated. Her place is clean and has everything you will need. When I checked in there was a bottle of wine waiting on the table that I was not expecting, but I enjoyed it very much! The location can’t get any better. It’s short walking distance to Ipanema Beach and Copacabana beach, there’s bars, restaurants, and grocery stores very close by. Barbara is great with communicating and I can’t recommend this place enough!
