We loved our stay at Ana's cozy apartment. She is extremely welcoming and offered all the support we needed to have an awesome Rio experience. The place is really small, but we really didn't need more room and it made us feel like we were home. The decor is very tasteful. The location is great – between the beach and Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Although the neighborhood is active day and night, we didn't hear a thing from the apartment. I truly recommend Ana's place for an authentic stay in Rio!
