We just came back from a 7 day stay at Vania’s apartment with our 8 years old son. Everything was perfect. We were greeted by Vania and Giovanni which were always available if we had questions or needed help. She even accommodated us with an early check-in. The apartment was perfect, clean and location was amazing. Few steps from the Ipanema beach, supermarkets, Metro station and good restaurants. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood even in the evening with our son. The staff at the reception desk were also fantastic and helped us with booking taxis and giving us tips on things we wanted to do. Also, great views from the rooftop pool. We definitively recommend Vania’s apartment and will go back next time we visit Rio de Janeiro.
