Beautiful apartment and a super supportive host. Bruno could not have been a more accommodating, friendly, responsive, helpful host. The flat itself has and very bright natural light. Views from the living room and bedroom were unreal, especially pretty at sunset -- a real treat. Having a full kitchen, washer/dryer, comfortable furniture, and two bathrooms was a big plus for two couples. And while the flat is tucked away on a quiet tree-covered street, it's just a block from restaurants and bars of Ipanema, and a few blocks from the beach. It was a perfect place to hang with each other amid the sights of Rio de Janeiro just outside our window... and then enjoy local life just steps away.
