This is my 5th time staying at Rafael, home in Ipanema. As always the experience was great. The location is ideal with respect to the beach, metro, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks. I cannot think of a place in Ipanema for a more ideal location. The apartment is clean and safe and very easy to enter via the front desk at all hours. Rafael and his parents have become a part of my family. Every guest that comes here will be treated with kindness and respect and will really enjoy there experience here. Thank you again !!!
