Jose is the ultimate host! He went over and above his duty as an Airbnb host and was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is perfect (only 2 minute walk to Ipanema beach or 5 minute walk to nearest metro). The apartment itself was clean, had a washing machine, great wifi and a water cooler (which Jose refilled on request for free!) Jose even accommodated us after check out so we could freshen up before our late night flight. 100% recommend!
