Rafael's place is cute, cozy and simply amazing. It's a small apartment with one bedroom, 1,5 bathrooms, kitchen and a small living room. It's perfect for a couple, although it can accommodate 3-4 people if necessary. It is located right at the Ipanema beach, and also not too far from Copacabana. The building is small, quiet and well maintained. The area is safe. There is a supermarket nearby. The apartment has 2 ACs, which make the stay very pleasant. Rafael responded promptly to all our question and went above and beyond trying to help us with early check in and late check out.
We would definitely recommend Rafael's place for all Rio visitors!
