perfect place. perfect host. we stayed at brunello's apartment for 4 awesome night. everything we need is there or just around the corner. very safe, clean and really a perfect location (very near to the ipanema beach and lagoa) also brunello's only one text away for all our questions and booking changes. we cooked our breakfast and do our laundry almost everyday with ease. i'll go back here again and definitely will highly recommend his flat if you want to have a perfect stay in rio.
