We were 6 international students coming for the carnaval. The flat was in a perfect neighborhood, between and very near Ipanema & Copacabana, but it was really too expensive in period of carnaval for what it was, too small for 6 people, with a tiny kitchen and bathroom, and not very clean. Nevertheless it is a very good flat for small budget in "low period", and the host was very nice, despite of a misunderstanding for the reception of the keys the first day : We wait 3 hours before to get in the flat, because the people at the reception were not aware of our venue, and/or qualified.
