Felipe and his apartment are absolutely wonderful. Perfect location, 1 block from ipanema beach, and all of the photos posted are accurate. The bathroom, kitchen were great and we were especially excited to have the washer dryer!!! Very safe, secure apartment with doormen and immediate access to cabs and public transportation. Felipe is easily accessible and provides great tips for your visit in Rio. Recommended, and plan to stay here again when I'm back in the area!! :)
