We really liked this apartment!! Nice, modern, clean and in a perfect location. It is situated in the heart of ipanema, 2 min from beach and metro station, bus stop to all areas of rio right around the corner. The area is very safe and there are lots of cafes, bars and restaurants right around the corner. The apartment is very clean, spacious, modern and nicely furnished. Fast wifi. Jose was a great host. He made sure we had a smooth key hand over when we arrived late at night and arranged airport transfer at a good price when we left. Will definitely stay here again, when we come back to Rio! Highly recommended!
