Awesome apartment, awesome location, awesome host. The apartment was clean and well-kept, stocked with basic needs, and full of amenities (very fast reliable internet, *great* shower, kitchen, ipod speakers, a washer/dryer which we used regularly). The location of the place is perfect, in the heart of Ipanema, right next to a beautiful park, and half way between Leblon and Casablanca. Brunello was always very responsive and helpful. A great stay.
