Vania’s apartment is perfect for visiting Rio! The apartment is in great location within Ipanema (right by the water and walking distance to many great restaurants). In addition - the building is top notch with great amenities (balcony + rooftop pool + gym + sauna / steamroom) along with great security. Everything was as described and Vania + Giovanni were both very helpful with early check-in, etc. Overall - I have no reservations recommending Vania's apartment. It was definitely one of the best airbnb's I have ever stayed in. If you are traveling to Rio - you should make this your home base. Cheers to Travel!
