Celia is a wonderful person, very helpful and reliable. She was my guide to many local places in Ipanema. Her apartment is comfortable, quiet and safe. It is very conveniently located close to the beach and a central square, but at the same time in a little oasis of tranqulity which is a nice break from Rio's lively pulse. I loved staying at her place and decided to choose it relying on the opinions of her previous guests. So here I can confirm it- they were absolutley true. Also the ones about the amazing breakfasts she likes to serve!!!
