Ricardo’s flat is in a great location - 10 min walk to Ipanema and 2 min (if you walk slowly?) to Copacabana with lots of restaurants, bars etc close by as well. Ricardo was super helpful and warm - as is Nilda, the housekeeper - and he was very welcoming; including sharing recommendations for where we should check out in Rio. The terrace is great and the apartment is a perfect size for a couple or two friends sharing. Would definitely stay again! Note the AC was changed on the day we started our stay so any comments regarding issues on that have been solved! :)
