Soeli is a fantastic hostess! Warm, friendly and educated, she can give you great tips about the city and just make you feel altogether at home. The room has been equipped with several little unexpected amenities (such as coasters, a fly swatter, a computer platform that you can use on you lap...) that add to your comfort. Even a parasol and beach chair are available! And, if you can read Portuguese, the morning papers are there every day. Most of all, the air conditioned works perfectly!
We were allowed to use the kitchen freely and had our own shelf in the fridge.
The apartment, decorated in good taste, is well located, within walking distance from the heart of Ipanema, grocery stores, restaurants and the beach. The balcony makes it all the more pleasant.
You get all the discretion and convenience of a hotel suite combined with the comfort of a delicately sophisticated private home.
The place to go if you want to make new friends.
Strongly recommended!
