We loved Rio and Ivan's apartment is located in an ideal location with a supermarket on the corner, places to eat, and a 5-7 minute walk to Copacabana Beach. Ivan was a gracious host, picking us up and taking us back to the airport as well. We had an issue with the apartment but Ivan did what he could to rectify the situation and was very understanding when we had an accident. From the time we booked the apartment 2 months in advance and during the trip he was available for help.
