Ivan and Lira have are a step up from the competitors!!
I was a greeted by Lira when I arrived to the apartment in Copacabana. She was very nice, warm, and I felt welcomed into the city. She showed me around the apartment and revealed all the amazing amenities then gave me her contact for any local tips and suggestions (bars, restaurants, cultural trips etc. ). The location is good, a 10 minute walk from both Copacabana and Ipanema beach, however, the apartment building is situated close to a favela raising the importance of taking safety precautions. I never felt unsafe during my stay, and I would highly consider coming back here in the future!
Thank you!
