I stayed at Rafaella's apartment with my family for 2 days and we had a great experience. The place is very well located, just two blocks from Ipanema's best street and a couple more blocks to the beach. It was perfect for our needs. It has cable TV, all the supplies you need and it's cozy and comfortable. The only observation I would make is that the air conditioning in the bedroom might not be sufficient to cool the whole apartment during warmer, hotter days. Rafaella was very helpful and responsive during our stay. We felt very welcomed at her place. Thank you, Rafaella!
