Fernanda was a tremendous host! She is from Rio and lived there for a long time, so she has lots of good recommendations. She maintains a clean apartment and has wonderful, friendly roommates. I loved the cold, purified water she had available 🙂. You are a couple blocks away from Ipanema beach as well as Lagoa. Lots of great restaurants nearby too including several Michelin rated restaurants. Bento is a solid Japanese restaurant nearby if on a budget.
Highly recommended!! 💯
