Philippe's apartment is absolutely perfect! Well laid out, modern style and has a stunning view that is hard to beat in Rio. The location at the back of Ipanema is great, close enough to the action but far enough away to not be disturbed. We used the airport taxi transfer offered by Philippe which I highly recommend as they were friendly, reliable and great value for Rio. He also provided us with some great tips of bars and restaurants to watch sunset and was always on hand via watsapp to assist if we needed him. Overall great stay, this place is the reason why I use Air BnB!
