I can definitely recommend this place. The apartment is just as shown in the pictures and the location in between both Ipanema and Copacabana is superb. Watching the sunset from nearby Arpoador is highly recommended. Walking distance to the metro at General Osório is also a plus. Rafael acts very professional and you can tell that he really likes what he is doing. He lives in the ground floor of the same building and you can contact him (e.g. on WhatsApp) anytime with anything and you will get a quick response. Also, Rafael was very flexible with check in/out since there were no other guest before/after our stay. We were glad to have stayed at this place!
