Joze's apartment was such a great find! The location is wonderful, it's literally around a 2 minute walk to Ipanema beach and no more than 5 minutes to the brand new metro station on line 4. The decor and facilities in the apartment are much superior to anything else I could find in the area, the kitchen has everything you need (if you actually eat in!). There are so many bars/eateries around including an English pub (Lord Jim's) and the bar underneath is lovely for some food and a Brahma. The wifi in the apartment is fast (could stream Netflix etc) and had zero drop outs during my time there. Loved the way Joze was always ready to help on email and Tuanny who checked us in was prompt and was only a whatsapp message away for anything. There was always someone on the front door of the apartment block and there's CCTV throughout so never felt worried about my belongings etc. I would 100% recommend Joze's apartment if you're planning a trip to Rio, the only down side was giving the keys back when we left!
