Ana is an absolute gem!! Her apartment is perfectly situated (across the street from a metro stop, two blocks from the beach), very safe, and exquisitely furnished (gorgeous decor, AC, top of the line kitchen appliances, etc.). I've stayed in Copacabana twice before, and truly wasn't expecting such modern and luxurious accommodations. As amazing as the apartment is, Ana is even better. It's obvious she puts a lot of time, attention, and love into creating a truly unforgettable experience for her guests. She checked in with us daily (via WhatsApp) to make sure we were having fun, provided us with local snacks, and even allowed us to extend our check-out so we had a place to stay before a midnight bus to São Paulo. I spent 6 nights there with two friends and we all agreed this was the best experience we've ever had with AirBnB. I intend to come back whenever I visit Rio. Obrigada, Ana!
