Francisco is a very attentive and available host. He gave us lots of tips for visiting Rio. The apartment itself is perfect for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids as we are or 4 friends . The 2 terraces have an amazing view. It is ideally located, 2minutes walking distance from Ipanema beach , many bars, restaurants, shopping and a supermarket open 24/7 which is very convenient especially with kids. I am recommending it 100% if you plan a trip to Rio!
