Great apartment in Ipanema.Felt very safe. Roberto gave access to many additional services, like his laptop, TV, washing machine, even brought us a safety deposit box to lock valuables. When we locked ourselves out by mistake, he came around with an extra key. The favela opposite was interesting piece of Brazil, only if you are very noise-sensitive, put in earplugs - not a problem.
Very conveniently located close to the shops (great cafes and sucos bars) as well as being only a short walk to the beach. We were a family of 4 (with two teenagers) who really enjoyed the wifi, large-screen TV and ample bathrooms!
Comfortable beds and plenty towels. A well equipped kitchen for self catering.
Thanks, Roberto - we had a great stay.
