My husband and I went to Rio for a wedding. We had never been before. Valeria's place is in a great location! It is a few blocks from the beach. There is a hippie market on Sunday's a block away. There is great food choices right nearby. We could not have been happier. I needed or wanted my hair done prior to the wedding. Valeria suggested a place that was literally a 2 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment was clean and well appointed. There was cleaning service available daily. Valeria was very accomodating checking in on text to make sure everything was going well and we had what we needed. I would highly reccommend this airbnb and a trip to Rio and Impanema beach! We loved it!
