Joze's apartment is just a fantastic option for staying in Ipanema/Leblon-- it's right in the middle of both! Super convenient 3-minute walk over to the Jardim de Alah metro station will get you quickly to anywhere in Rio. If you're comfortable enough to take buses, there's plenty that pass right by the building that go towards Copa, Centro, and wherever else. Uber also great in Rio.
The apartment looks just like the photos. Super clean, modern, and very homey. After a long day at the beach or out on the town, it's nice to come back to a great spot like Joze's apartment where you've got everything you need to be comfortable, get work done, or just chill out. I really, really highly recommend this place for your visit to Rio and will definitely stay here again on my future trips!
