The apartment was great, clean and had enough space for us. Although we were very lucky with the weather we could easily imagine to spend a rainy day completely in the apartment. The area is also perfect. It is very near to Ipanema beach (2 min walking distance) and you find everything you need in the next neighborhood (supermarket, restaurants, bars,...). Silvana was extremely friendly, supported with recommendations for the sights and even made sure that the taxi driver to the airport would take the best way. Many Thanks for some great and unforgettable days in Rio.
