We loved staying at Silvia and Daniel's apartment in Ipanema. The location is perfect. You are one block from the beach and right in the heart of the action. There is a grocery store right across the street, a cute little restaurant (Felice's) that we ate at a few times, the hippie fair is also right across the way. The apartment is very cute and very large. There are two big beds and a futon. There's a hair drier and a washing machine. The door men are wonderful and so friendly. We would have stayed forever if we could.

We were in town for a wedding and had several friends staying at hotels and other apartments and I can say that we were honestly the happiest with our accommodations!

I met Daniel and he was so friendly. Silvia was super attentive and sweet and speedy via email, which is impressive considering she's 8 months pregnant.

I cannot say enough good things about this apartment. It's big, there's a great kitchen, the location rocks. You are in fabulous hands. If you are going-- BOOK THIS PLACE!!!
