WE really enjoyed our stay with Jorge and his lovely wife Joanna.. Excellent location with the Copacabana beach at your doorstep and the Ipanema just 10mins walking away. Plenty of good restaurants around and easy to book the tour around the town or do a late night shopping. The room is as described with small private toilet and wash basin room attached. You will share the shower with the family. Joanna made us nice coffee in the morning and we were able to use the wash machine as well. The apartment is located in an older building with 24 hour doorman and felt safe and secure. Its not a luxury stay but very comfortable and spacious and clean.
