We stayed at the flat for just over a week and had a great experience. It is exactly how it looks in the pictures, very clean and modern and it is in a very good, safe, location in Ipanema. It is very close to many places to eat, close to a Zona Sul Supermaket and about 7 minutes walk to the beach, where you arrive in the excellent location between Posto 8 & 9. We arranged airport transfer through Jose and he even came over to the flat just after our arrival to check everything was ok and encouraged us to contact him if we needed anything. Jose is very friendly and helpful, everything in the flat was fine so i had no questions for him regarding the flat, but i did have some queries regarding Rio and Jose kindly responded to me almost immediately and offered lots of valuable information!
