I had a great stay at Michael's apartment in Rio. The apartment is in a very convenient location that is right in between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches (short 5-10 minute walk to each). There is also a Metro subway station entrance "General Osorio" literally right outside of the building.

The inside of the apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable with several nice features like tap water filter in the kitchen, clothes washing machine/dryer in the bathroom, air conditioner in the bedroom and ceiling fan in the living room. Was perfect for my needs as a solo traveler. Communication with Michael was great and I definitely recommend the apartment.
