I stayed in this apartment for seven weeks and had a great time. The location is very good (right on top of a Zona Sul supermarket, close to all the bus stops, close to the beaches and bars of Ipanema and Copacabana). The bed mezzanine is an innovate and effective use of space and the apartment is very well equipped. I didn't meet Mauricio but instead I met his associate David who was extremely friendly and welcoming, and always ready to help. Highly recommended!
