Rafael was not in town when we were there however his Aunt was there and she was absolutely wonderful. She made us feel so welcome and she was just lovely.

The apartment is exactly as on the website and perfect for our stay. I did feel a little sorry for the adjoining apartment as we had a little one that was sometimes hard to keep quiet. Being there in May we didn't get much sun on the back deck either.

Location ! Location ! Location !
This was just perfect and a safe place to be.
Surfing spot Arpoador right at the doorstep
Quick walk to Copacabana or Ipanema whatever you please
We felt safe walking around in the evening with our little one too
