The place is great! Kitchen well equipped, the bed very comfortable. The communicaiton with the host smooth. It is small walk from famous Ipanema beach which is not that crowded that Copacabana and personally I prefer Ipanema when returning to Rio ;) Supermarkets are nearby, as well as evening life spots. You can take easily quick public transportation from both airports there (BRL or bus executivo) without any transfers. I will return there anytime again.
