This is the real deal. If you are lucky enough to be hosted by Naruna, you will find that she's perfectly appointed this apartment with anything a traveler might need. The location of this apartment couldn't be better. It's smack dab in the middle of Ipanema and Copabana beaches. Absolutely Awesome!! And the building itself is well kept, clean and safe. There is a 24 hour front door man who will assist you. Noreen's brother in law, Zeca, also helped me out with getting in and even with getting a taxi to the airport at 5am. I would not hesitate to stay here again. And for the price? You can't beat it. Thanks so much Naruna, for being a wonderful host and opening your place to me!!!
