Andrea's apartment is so rad! My group and I were really impressed with the apartment. It looked great on the website but in person it was way nicer than we expected. Big rooms, plenty of space to relax, listen to jorge be jor and make some caipirinhas.

The best part about it was the location. In a very cool but quiet neighborhood in Ipanema, 5 blocks from the beach, Posto 9 ( the most popular spot) and a few blocks from the local corner beer joint. We got the know the area, chilled on the corner with some Brahmas and had pastels like cariocas. Very safe area and Andrea was a great host. Gave us a great rundown of the area and was cool about everything.

It's true what they say, the women are beautiful, the sun is strong, and sandals and a bathing suit is all you need. We left our heart in Rio, and when we come back for it, we'll be staying at Andrea's apartment.

Saudades,
