Third time to Rio so I'm fairly familiar. Found the apartment to be great value. Ideally located for a tourist who wants to be close to cafes and the beach (two blocks away). Nice part of Ipanema. Silvia was responsive to my emails and phone calls and accommodated a late check out. The apartment comfortably fits three (one regular size room with a full / queen size bed and another small room with a single), but four or more would be a stretch.
