The apartement is perfectly situated betweens copacabana and ipanema. Luiz is a great host - we booked his apartement for two weekends and for the time between these weekends he offered us that we can keep the key and leave some luggage at the apartement because he didnt rent it these days. That was so nice and helpfull! He even cleaned and left us a small gift for our 2nd stay. We had towels, soap and a well equiped kitchen just without spices to cook. Luiz cared really a lot. Totally recommendable!
