This apartment is fantastic. Rafael is an amazing host! Any question we had was immediately dealt with and Rafael made it very clear, if we had a problem let him know and he would take care of it. The apartment is perfect. It has a nice big shower, a huge bed, Hammock and 1 1/2 baths which is perfect for a 1 bedroom. We loved it and will stay here every time we visit Rio in the future. about 50 feet from Ipanema beach and an easy walk to the Gay beach at the intersection of Ipanema Beach & Farme de Amoedo! Fantastic Experience! Thanks Rafael!
