Great location and great hosts! I stayed at this apartment with friends during Carnival and when I had to go back to Rio for a trip with my parents renting this apartment was my first choice! Walking distance to the beach, very close to Ipanema, the bus stop is a few feet away and you can always catch a cab right in front of the building. Bob was incredible as a host, always on time and super helpful with advice on how to visit some of the main spots in the city. The apartment is cozy and the treats (coffee, chocolate, water, beer) cannot be beat! Thank you, Bob and Angelica!
