Great place, great location. We had spent some time debating where to stay in Rio and this place was definitely the right choice. You are close to the metro to visit Ipanema, the centre for museums and galleries. We took the metro to Largo do Machado where minivans take you to Cristo Redentor and we took a bus from Gloria to Jardim Botanico. Many sites are also in walking distance and there is of course Uber to get around.
Fernando Jose was quick to respond to messages and we checked in and out with the doorman. The apartment itself is clean and spacious and the washing machine was a bonus. There was enough equipment to cook a meal and it was quiet for sleeping.
If we returned to Rio we would stay here again.
