Claudio made us feel welcome right from the very beginning, showing us around the apartment and letting us know how everything worked. He really does pay attention to the small details, providing extra linen, a fully stocked fridge and all the things you need to do laundry for example. E apartment is very central and within easy walking distance of ipanema, arpodoar and copacabana beach. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone. Claudio was also really understanding when one of the keys to our apartment got stolen. Great guy, great apartment- I hope to go back! ;)
