My stay at Fernanda’s place was incredible! Spacious apartment right on one of the nicest and busier streets in Ipanema, but a very quiet apartment. Easy access to the beach, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Communication with Fernanda was great. She and her roommate/friends were very helpful with anything I needed, and it was nice getting to know them and learning more about the Carioca culture. Without a doubt I recommend staying at Fernanda’s place, and I plan on staying there again next time I’m in Rio de Janeiro.
