Mariana was an amazing host, who went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed during our stay. We loved the prime location of the apartment, which is just a block from Ipanema beach and close to many amazing restaurants and bars. It’s also very close to the metro station, which is very handy if you decide to use it during your stay. We stayed here for New Year’s celebrations and it was perfectly located for us to walk to the beach at night for the fireworks and festivities. Would definitely recommend the apartment to others! Mariana was also kind enough to give us a late check out on our departure date, which was extremely appreciated. She didn’t have to do this, but goes to demonstrate the kind of host she is.
