We stayed in Valeria's apartment for 8 nights. The location couldn't be better, just between Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. The apartment is gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable. The look and feel of the apartment are even better than the photos. It felt like a real home! The area feels very safe and there's 24 h security in reception. Valeria was a great host. We didn't meet her, but she contacted us on Whatsapp a few times to check if we needed anything. She even left an extra towel for our friend who had a late evening flight and wanted to freshen up before the flight! We would definitely recommend this apartment. We can't imagine there being a better place or host in Rio!
