He is correct....this must be the best of Ipanema. Great location, very spacious apartment, full kitchen, large, comfortable beds, and two full baths. Also a washer and dryer, which we didn't use but were available. So much nicer than staying at a hotel, and Jose was a great host. We couldn't have asked for more. He even had an electric adapter for our USA plugs. Thanks again, Jose. You helped make our stay in Rio a memorable adventure.
