Anna Rosa’s place checks all the boxes. It’s in a perfect location, right between Ipanema Beach and the lagoa, on a safe and quiet street. The workers in the building are kind and helpful.
Anna Rosa was incredibly easy to contact. Most of my messages were responded to immediately. Check in and check out were both a breeze. She was always clear and polite. She also made sure we were satisfied, and had everything we needed. It was obvious that Anna Rosa truly wanted us to enjoy our stay in Rio.
The apartment itself is very nice. The beds are comfortable, with plenty of towels and linens for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. There’s also a coffee maker. Outside, there’s a small space to do laundry. The machine is a combo washer/dryer (a rarity in Brazil)! There are air conditioners in the living room, as well as the two bedrooms with double beds. The third bedroom (single beds) does not have A/C, but it gets a good breeze, and the ceiling fan works really well. My wife and I spent the night in that room, and slept like babies throughout the trip.
Anna Rosa included plenty of information in the welcome packet about restaurants and other interesting things to do nearby. There’s so much in this part of Ipanema that you’ll never have a problem finding a nice place to go.
I’ve been to Rio many times, and I know that finding good accommodation at a fair price can be difficult, especially during carnaval. Anna Rosa’s place was exactly what we were looking for, and she will be my first choice for any future trips to the cidade maravilhosa. Muito obrigado!!
