We stayed 2 nights in Denise's apartement and it was perfect! Denise is a nice, friendly and accommodating person! She speaks very well English as well. You feel at home! The room is exactly as the pictures. The bed is very comfortable, AC in the room is really appreciated. The private bathroom was very clean and had everything we needed. The appartement itself is clean, cosy and very well located between Ipanema beach and the lagoon. The area was safe and quiet but closed to everything bars, restaurants, shops, the heart of Ipanema! ;-). ... thank you so much for everything Denise and for sure the next time in Rio, we will be there!
