We had a really great stay with Celia - she's a fantastic host and very welcoming. We communicated to each other via Google translate which worked really well and Celia gave us lots of advice/recommendations for Rio. She prepared us a delicious and big breakfast each morning with coffee, juice, fruit, bread, ham and cheese which fuelled us for our day ahead. The apartment is in a very good location, close to Ipanema beach, bars and restaurants. The room was as appears in the pictures - clean and comfortable with good air conditioning, and the bathroom was great too. Celia was also happy for us to use the kitchen to cook dinner! Would highly recommend a stay here.
