José is outstanding! He is so guest oriented, he went out of his way to help us in something else.. His apartment is very comfortable, very clean,and has everything to feel at home. The full size refrigerator and washer were greatly appreciated. The apartment location in Ipanema is one and a half blocks from the beach and there are six fabulous restaurants in the same block. The only disadvantage of this apartment is that there is no elevator it was forty one steps every time we went out of the apartment. The bed was very comfortable , the linens were clean and in ample supply and air condition was quiet and efficient . He and Luis came to help with the luggage and get the keys.I highly recommend. He has others units in the same building and others nearby. Trust him!
