We stayed at Ana's place for couple of days and we enjoyed it a lot. Its a perfect location in Ipanema - 5 minutes to the beach and close to cafes and restaurants. The place itself is perfect for 2 people. You have there all what you need. We have seen Ana only once at the arrival. She told us all we need to know and made the impression that she is that kind of host that will go an extra mile to make the guest happy.
