As soon as I booked (about 9 months in advance, since it was during the Olympics) Levy began sending me tips for Rio.

He gave me an option for earlier arrival & on leaving he was prompt for our departure and booked a taxi for us.

The apartment has all the basics needed & even a convenient water filter.

The best is the location. One half block from the metro station General Osorio and a few blocks from the beach. Plenty of taxis and busses.

The Ipanema neighborhood was desirable too. Not crazily loud & conjested like Copacabana. Surrounded by all the ammentities needed: banks, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Thanks Levy for helping to make out stay in Rio during the Olympics so enjoyable.
