Bruno was a fantastic host! Very responsive and accommodating-we had to adjust our itinerary and Bruno easily worked it out for us. Apartment is in an excellent, quiet and safe location of Ipanema- very convenient to the beach, restaurants, shops. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will find in the apartment- immaculate, clean, modern and comfortable apartment. Will definitely be staying at Ipachic during our next visit- hopefully soon!
