My partner Drew, our friend Scott and I had a fantastic stay at Vivane's apartment. The apartment was exactly what we expected from seeing the pictures: clean, simply and tastefully decorated, functional, and very comfortable. Having air-conditioning to take a break from the heat and humidity of Rio was a huge plus. We also appreciated having a strong wireless Internet connection. Extremely well-located, we were able to walk to the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema and had easy access to the Metro Cantagalo Station when visiting other touristic sites in the city. The neighbourhood was well-served with supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and bars. Viviane and her brother Eduardo were the perfect hosts. We would recommend Viviane's apartment to anyone who would like to spend some time in Rio. We would definitely stay there when we get a chance to go back!
