Jose was amazing! One of the best Airbnb hosts I've had. He was so responsive and friendly and fixed anything we needed promptly. This place is even better in person than in pictures, honestly it was such a score getting this spot! Its located in walking distance from everything in Ipanema and the metro and is in a very safe area. There is 24 hours security in the building so we felt very safe and they were so friendly. We also loved the AC in the room during the summer heat. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio!
