What can I say!!! A beautiful country and welcoming people. Will definitely go back. On the other hand, Valeria was such a great host. She provided us with the insights and places to see. You cannot beat the location of her apartment. Everything you'll need is within a walking distance. The apartment itself is super clean and as described in the photos. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a place in Ipanema to look no further. Valeria's place is the perfect choice.
