Monica and Paulo are not just great hosts but fabulous human beings. They went out of their way on multiple occasions to help us, advise us, and guide us. The apartment is as central as it gets. A stone throws away from the Copacabana Beach and a short walk to the Ipanema beach, the Fort, and Aroapdor. The apartment is lovely with all amenities you can imagine and also super safe. Monica is super responsive on whats app and AirBnB and answers every query with a lot of detail. We also had a small baby with us and the apartment is also super friendly for toddlers. For us, it just felt like we are living in our long lost families house in Rio!!
