Levy is not just a landlord, he is a real host. It is like you have a friend in Rio, whom you always can rely on. He showed neighborhood, gave good suggestions where to go, where to shop, to eat. He always comes with handy advices, and ready to help with your questions. He always can be reached via email, and responds really fast, which is important when you have urgent matters. Very good and nice person. Really made me feel like I am at home.
What about apartment, it is small stylish cosy studio, as on picture. I did not use its facilities, as I stayed for a very short period. But it was comfortable, a cosy nest to come back after exploring amazing city Rio de Janeiro. Location is great! Very close to Copacabana beach, two blocks away. And Ipanema beach can be reached with a short walk.
