The apartment is adorable and comfortable. It has everything you need - a fully equipped kitchen, hair dryer, iron, washer, extra sheets, etc. The apartment is located 2 blocks from the lovely beach of Ipanema and only a short walk/bus from Copacabana. There is a bus stop right in front of the apartment and a metro station 1 block away, making every part of the city accessible to you. There are bars, restaurants, markets, etc all around. Even from afar, Philip is doing an amazing job as a host! His communication was excellent and he was very generous to us throughout the entire process. Thank you!!!
