The stay at this apartment was excellent. Levy was an excellent host and was able to accommodate me on short notice.

When I arrived, Levy explained all the good sites in Rio and even helped me get money exchanged and purchase a power adapter for my charger.

The apartment itself was clean and well-maintained. There was functioning A/C (though Brazil in winter seldom requires it) and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was small, but this seems standard for smaller apartments in Rio.

It is also located very near a main street with restaurants and shops. Very close to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches.
