We stayed at Valerie and Alex’s apartment for 4 days.
The location is great, only one block away from Cococabana Beach and max 10min walk away for Ipanema Beach, and everything else was no more than 25R$ (£6.25) away in a taxi, which was amazing.
The apartment was spacious, clean and very well equipped and the roof top terrace was a lovely place to eat your breakfast.
If you are looking for a great view I would say this apartment didn’t provide that, but we didn’t care about this as it was a place to put our heads down.
Something that Valerie didn’t mention which I think is worth mentioning is that her friend Caesar who checked us in is a Taxi driver and he offered to drive us around for an entire day for a very competitive rate, which was great!
Our overall impression was that the apartment, location and facilities of the apartment were just what we needed.

We would rate it:
Accuracy: 5/5
Communication: 5/5
Cleanliness: 5/5
Location :5/5
Check In: 5/5
Value: 5/5

We would definitely stay here again!
