Charles was a great host who made us feel very welcome.
We were very impressed as he managed to solve an issue very quickly.
The apartment is very clean, air-conditioned (ideal in very hot weather) safe with welcoming door-men 24/7 and ideally located with many food shops around to buy all the necessary products even late at night. It is also very close to the tube, very convenient if you wish to avoid the traffic sometimes at night. But of course it is also few blocks only from Ipanema beach. We would definitely recommend it ;-)
