I really enjoyed my stay at Michael's place. Michael himself was there to welcome me, show me where everything was etc. Later in the week he was very responsive and helpful if I needed anything.

The apartment was as described and very clean. The building feels very secure given the 24hr security, the neighbours are very friendly and the building is very quiet. The neighbourhood is right between Copacabana & Ipanema so only 4 blocks or so to either beach. Everything you'll need is on your doorstep, inc. the metro only a few steps from the front door.

I would highly recommend staying here.
