This apartment is located in what I consider the best area of Rio & Ipanema, just 300m to the beach and near many of the best restaurants.
The apartment is very well designed for comfort and functionality and the bed in particular is very comfortable. The shower is fantastic, good temperature control and pressure, something rare in Rio. We really liked the extras such as Nesspresso machine, nice soaps, water, soft drinks included with the apartment.
Yuri and his wife are excellent hosts readily contactable and offering advice. They offer the warm, genuine hospitality that is typical of Cariocas. Yuri was accomodating with late checkout which we particularly appreciated and you would not get at a hotel.
The location next to Devassa is an added bonus, Rios best microbrewery quality beer.
We will definitely be hoping to stay at Yuri's place on our next visit to Rio.
Thanks Yuri!
