We definitely enjoyed staying in this apartment for a couple of days. It is at a perfect location, in a safe neighborhood, close to Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. There are many good restaurants/bars/supermarkets in close vicinity and the next Metro station is just a few minutes walk away. The entrance to the house is controlled by a doorman (24/7), so it is very safe. The apartment (7th floor, elevator) is clean and well equipped. Valeria was an excellent host, very friendly and responsive, before arriving and during our stay. We communicated via WhattsApp and she always responded within few minutes. The first day, when we complained because of high noise level caused by repair of a water pipe next door, she offered us to move to another apartment. Due to our arrival and departure flight schedules, we arrived in Rio early in the morning and left later in the evening. Valeria allowed us to come to the apartment in the morning and to leave late in the afternoon without charging extra. Overall, we had a very good time due to Valeria's hospitality, and we will definitely book this apartment again when we will come back to Rio.
