This place is fantastic. It's situated in a nice building with a concierge in an excellent neighbourhood. It's a clean, bright, beautifully designed contemporary apartment. A great bathroom with a strong shower and two very comfortable bedrooms with elegant and modern decor. It's best asset might be the amazing, breathtaking view. The location was better than I expected. It took me literally 5 minutes to walk to Ipanema beach. The neighbourhood is quiet, friendly and full of cafes, restaurants and shops. Very close to the Hippie market at General Osório Square, which is a must see on Sundays. The taxi stand just down the street helped enormously to get around Rio.
Bruno was a great host. He was accommodating with any questions or concerns I had. His suggestions for activities and restaurants around Rio were also very insightful and helpful.
Amazing place and a wonderful stay in Rio!
