Rommel is a WONDERFUL host. He´s very helpful, always answering your emails and text messages, and provides more information than any other host we have stayed with (worldwide!). His place is well located, specially for first-comers, two blocks away from Ipanema beach, and about five blocks away from Copacabana beach. Also, it´s very close to the metro and bus stations. We had a long stay in the apartment (one month), and were able to feel comfortable, even our seven months old baby felt like home. For people who like to cook, like us, you´ll find all the basics. We had a great time staying in your apartment, Rommel!
