We booked Felipe's place quite last minute and on an instant book to avoid a repeat of several enquiries made to other Rio hosts being responded to with premium rates much higher than advertised. Felipe's is exactly as advertised - really at the heart of Ipanema; immediate access to the beach, Nightlife, underground and supermarket. The flat is clean, spacious and a really comfortable base from which to explore and relax. The building security staff are super friendly and efficient. Would definitely consider staying here again. Ideal for a couple, family or two couples (with one sleeping in sitting room). Recommended.
