We spent 2 weeks in Henrique's apartment. It met all of our needs during the 2 weeks. It is 5 minutes from Ipanema Beach and a 15 minute walk from Copacabana Beach. It is close to bus stops also that make touring Rio easy. The apartment is compact but cosy. It was very comfortable and the AC was great on warm nights. The internet connection is reliable and fast. My girlfriend and I received a wonderful welcome from Henrique. He provided maps, information and a fridge stocked with fresh fruit and breakfast foods. The studio was very clean. The kitchen was small but we were still able to cook a nice meal when necessary. The bathroom was clean, comfortable and also had a washing machine which was useful for our 2 week stay. Henrique even came at the start of the second week to clean and change the bed sheets.

This has been my 1st experience with airbnb and I could not have been happier with the apartment and Henriques hospitality. If we ever had a question he was always reachable and provided us with flexible check out and check in times. If you are looking for a 5 star place to stay in Rio, this is it!
