Our experience in Rio de Janeiro has been fantastic, and it is part because of the apartment we have stayed.
The apartment is nice and cozy. Really good situated, only two blocks from Copacabana beach and close to Ipanema.
We met Bob the first day, who was very kind and provided us with lots of info and tips. We also asked him a few questions via whatsapp. I want to mention also, that, since our return flight was in the evening, and the had no guests coming that day, the allowed us to stay a bit more so we could leave later to the airport.
To sum up, the trip was amazing.
