Hello Travelers,
What can I say about Allan's apartment except that as soon as I come back to Rio I'll rent it again?
The location is just perfect (5 min from Ipanema beach, 6 from Copacabana and 15 min by foot from the "place to be" regarding nightlife) the neighborhood is safe, attractive with all the facilities you need. Very quiet during the night (so you can have a good sleep) a little bit less during the day (difficult sometimes to take a nap). But that's Rio!!!
Marceil the doorman is very kind and helpful (although he speaks only Portuguese)
The flat itself is spacious, comfortable and matches the description. Wifi works very well. In conclusion, you can feel at home very easily.
Alan was always checking on us to be sure that everything was all right.

Improvement points are:
- One of the good point of using AirB&B is to be able to cook your own food. Therefore it is important to have a real big clean stove for example. And that the 4 spots of the gas cooker work instead of only one. In general, especially for French people, a good set of cooking items is essential :-)
- we didn't watch any TV due to lack of international channels. But it is Allan next move apparently so in a near future I'm sure it will be solved.

But all are minor points

That's it! A very good address that I strongly recommend. Thank you Allan
