Levy is a very good host always on hand to answer any question, gave us lots of advice how to make the best of our time in rio and took us around the neighbourhood on arrival to get orientated!
The apartment has 24hr security and is small (as is a studio!) - just right for a stay in rio with location being perfect - copacabana beach at end of street literally 5mins,surrounded by shops and restaurants and ipanema (quieter beach!) approx 20mins away. handy for both bus and metro piblic transport.
the only negative of the apartment is the cleanliness - needs a good clean top to bottom, linen (towels and bed clothes) were not the cleanest and floor, surfaces, sink, window sills etc all quite dirty.
enjoyed our stay. thanks levy.
