Arturo's spacious home in Ipanema was special and beautiful and also very comfortable. It was equipped with everything I needed, including fast wifi, a washer, and a VERY hot shower - as well as lots of lovely personal touches such as paintings and family photos. The location was great. Arturo's place was a VERY clean, with a fridge and stove, and his neighbour Leda who checked me in was very friendly and helpful (Portuguese only!). Also, the bed was absolutely great, and the small balcony was great in the evening - bring insect repellent, though. I would definitely stay here again! Absolutely recommended! THANK YOU, Arturo and Leda
