The description of the place was right on. The neighborhood was a few blocks from both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and even closer to restaurants, bars, grocery stores and the Gen. Osorio RioMetro station. Most flats in Ipanema are small. This one was a bit larger, but had no livingroom. However, with a mattress this comfortable and sheets this soft, you'll want to spend all of your time in bed anyhow. Nereu was very quick at replying to requests and great at coordinating arrival and departure times. He even reached out to let me know I forgot a small bag. Great host for a great vacation!
