Roberto was a great host. He was very responsive to questions and timely for check-in and check-out. He also gave us some nice restaurant recommendations! We stayed during the Olympics, and he didn't kill us on price, which everyone else seemed to be trying to do.

The place is small, but actually better than the pictures represent. As far as overall location goes, it's very convenient, being right on the border of Ipanema and Leblon. Also, only 2 blocks to the beach. The exact location is on a busy intersection, so there is some street noise, even though it's located on the 6th floor. The only other drawback it that the kitchen is sort of in a closet, so not exactly somewhere that is comfortable to cook.

That said, we had a great stay and really enjoyed our time in Rio.
