This is easily the nicest Airbnb I’ve stayed at. While the building is old, Mariana has renovated her lovely two bed, two bath condo and decorated it beautifully. The unit is spacious, very well appointed and has been decorated with an eye for detail. All appliances are new and kitchen is well-provisioned. The location is about 2-3 blocks to Ipanema beach and near everything you need. Mariana was a gracious host - checking in with us to be sure everything was going smoothly. You should be aware that the elevator stops at the top floor and you have walk up a short set of curved stairs so if mobility is an issue this would be a problem. But for us, we loved the privacy and quiet.
