Gui is an outstanding, attentive host. He went all the way to make sure I had a good time in Rio, taking care of both the relevant stuff as well as the details. The apt was very good, better than the pics. While "the best location in Rio" is a rather subjective statement I think this is great for those willing to be very near to the beach, in the upscale part of Ipanema very close to Leblon.
The flat itself is much better than the building, practical for 1/2 people and full of good details.
It is 2nd floor but feels very safe and reasonably silent for being few meters away from the beach.
I´d be very happy to stay again and enjoy Gui´s warmth and hospitality.
