My stay with Ivanice & Roberto was exactly what I had hoped for. A quiet few days close to beautiful hiking trails and Rios expansive national park da Tijuca. The view from the apartment itself is awe inspiring and I was lucky enough to regularly spot Toucans, humming birds and Marmosets out front. During your stay Ivanice and Roberto treat you like family ensuring that you have all the information you need to enjoy your stay. The location is a little secluded so they offered me a lift with my bags to an easier location for for taxi when I was leaving and when they heard I planned to visit a local trail they offered me a ride there also. That being said, the small town of Boa Vista is just a 10 minute walk away for all your needs - pharmacies, bakeries, groceries etc and the beaches just a 10 minute cab ride. 10/10 would recommend 👍
