The apartment could not be in a better place if you want to explore both Ipanema and Copacana. Super-convenient to transportation, beaches, supermarkets, crafts fair, etc. The apartment is clean, adequately furnished (the hammock by the living room window was an unexpected treat), and has all the necessary cookware for those who like to eat in. Rommel is a friendly and attentive host and offers an exhaustive write-up of things to see and do for the first-timer. Excellent value for the rent charged, and I hope to visit again next year.
