Just got back from our Carnaval vacation in Brazil and had a great time staying at Jose's place! He was very accommodating and was very quick to respond to all my emails. The place is just as pictured and was perfect for my 3 girlfriends and I. The apartment is very conveniently located and we were able to walk around a lot throughout Ipanema. Jose even helped us when getting information about our tour as well as getting us a cab back to the airport. Thank you Jose! We highly recommend this listing when planning a trip to Rio!
