Excellent host, perfect location, amazing experience.
My girlfriend and I stayed at Brunello's place for 4 nights and 5 days and we're usually very demanding. Brunello is better than a 5 stars hotel's concierge giving you advice on restaurants, bars, attractions and transportation (very important in Rio). As he correctly says in his ad, this is Rio's best spot: two blocks from posto 9 in Ipanema beach. The place itself is exactly as you see in the pics and he describes in his ad. I would definitely recommend it, this is an excellent choice.
