We made a very last minute trip to Rio and Renan couldn’t have been more helpful! He met us early and gave us great ideas of things to do. He checked in on our second day to make sure everything was ok and then proactively checked in about meeting for check out. I would highly recommend staying at his place.
The apartment itself was in a prime spot in Ipanema: very close to all of the restaurants, the beach, and public transportation. We would definitely stay here again!
