Great appartment in a very nice neighbourhood. Less than 10 minutes walk from the beach of Ipanema and lot's of shops, bars and restaurants at walking distance. Although we didn't see Mariano during our stay he was really helpfull by mail. The fact that there's a reception in the building where you can leave your keys makes the check-in and check-out very convenient.
The appartement was cleaned ervery day (except of sunday) which was a big advantage. So very clean appartment!
