Staying on Philip's apartment was such a great experience!
He has an excellent apartment located just 3 blocs from Arpoador, with everything that we need in there. The check-in was very easy, with a really helpful host and 2 keys available :).

The fantastic location (just step out from the building and you are on the beach); the security; The "cozy" feel on the whole apartment and such a beautiful beach make this a great trip and a great staying in Rio.

I definitely recommend Philip's apartment to anyone.
