Rafael and his parents are amazing hosts. The apartment location in Ipanema is perfect. It is close to the beach, metro, restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores. The apartment is clean and very safe. The insider tips that you will receive from them will help you a lot. Once again a place that you definitely need to stay at. It's my second time staying here and will be my first choice for future trips. Thank you again for making my stay a home away from home and a part of your family.
