This apartment was just perfect for our stay in Rio! We are a family of 5 (3 kids) and Jose was a great host! Very helpful and patient in answering all of my questions before our trip. He even went to find a parking lot for us to park our rental car. The apartment itself was great -- very comfortable, best sleep I had during our trip to Brazil, very clean, with all kitchen utensils to cook a meal -- and the location was phenomenal... only 2 blocks to Ipanema beach, tons of restaurants and shops all around, a grocery store right next door (super convenient). It was the perfect place to stay! Thank you Jose!
