We ❤ Ipanema! Victoria was an extraordinary host, and her apartment is ideally located only a few blocks from the iconic beach and all sorts of restaurants and bars. The apartment actually has two bedrooms and a second bathroom. Need something? Valerie's response time can practically be measured in seconds. Whatever it was, she went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Whether working out a way to leave our luggage early, helping us find specific locations, or consulting us on getting a ride back to the airport—she did it all. To top it off, when we accidentally left a few items, she contacted us immediately and included pictures. After expressing an interest in having her mail the items back to us, she went out her way to bring our stuff to the post office and get a quote. Then to top it off, after we opted have our stuff sent at the cheapest rate, she chipped in herself and had the package sent priority. Who does that? We can’t wait to me back and stay there again. Thank you Valerie... SIX STARS!!
