We loved our stay at Franco's pad. It's newly refurbished, stylish and cosy at the same time. The bathroom with the two showers is amazing. The location is also great: you can choose to go to Copacabana or Ipanea very easily, they are both only 5 minutes walk away (we recommend Ipanema though). Communication was great. Franco was prompt with any request and also the company who manages the property is very efficient: check-in and check-out were definitely easy.
It's one of those place where I would give it an extra star if I could.
