PERFECT, all of it, from communication to location to cleanliness. Ivete was extremely helpful and accommodating. Her apartment was impeccable (and our standards are high). I am still obsessed with the view from the living room to the Pão de Açucar! She has a binder in the apartment with all the information you can possibly need, from laundry to food delivery. The location, Urca, is fantastic; it is good for people that like to experience the true local life rather than staying in a touristy area. At the same time you have the beach and bars/restaurants nearby. I cannot wait to go back to Rio and I will be looking to stay in Ivete's apartment.
Thank you so much Ivete!
