Flavia and Bernardo were excellent hosts! They were fast to reply, friendly, and super proactive. The apartment is in an amazing location and very safe neighborhood. The unit was quiet for sleeping. The single twin bed is a bit more narrow than US standards and felt more like a massage table. The couch was comfy and perfect for Netflix, which they generously let us use! It was a bit dated, with a deep clean needed (floor was a little dusty and the grout of shower tiles need a washing) but we were happy and fell in love with Ipanema! Don’t hesitate to stay!
