Gerson is an excellent host. The communication with him was perfect and he helped us with all the information we needed about the city. The apartment was exactly as described in the pictures. It was really cosy and it had everything running. The best of all was its location: situated on the charming Ipanema neighborhood at only two blocks away from the subway station and 4 blocks from the beach. It's not on the main street and it's very safe to walk around because it's not in a favela. I would very much like to stay again in this apartment.
