IURY was an amazing host and ant questions I had he responded right away... the apartment was very clean and had everything anyone could ask for... Kitchen had everything that I needed as I cooked my breakfast and lunches in the apartment... the location is excellant with many restaurants and bars within walking distance also a super market about a block away... Impanima beach is also only a block away. I was extremely happy and satisfied. I FELT TOTALLY SAFE IN THE AREA. The reception was helpful and helped me book some day excursions... its tough to book things online once in brazil as you need a cpf number to book things on line...which is a taxation # for residents of brazil.
