Rodrigo was a wonderful host during my monthlong stay. He was very responsive and helpful to my needs, which included providing me with a converter to keep my computer charged and replacing the coffee machine right away when it stopped working. The apartment is beautiful and very well-located, but sensitive sleepers should know that there’s substantial traffic on the thoroughfare in the morning. Highly recommend this stay. Close and cheap taxi rides to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.
