We loved staying at Jaimes apartement in Rio. The location is perfect - very close to Ipanema and Copacabana beach, to the metrostation, to the supermarket and to a lot of other shops and restaurants. We rented bikes during the whole stay, which is a great way to explore the area (Copacabana, Ipanema, Lago, Leblon). We biked to the botanical garden, to the cable car station, to the base for the hike to Cristo and we biked to the beaches and around the lake. This was awesome! There is garage to put the bikes in which was very convenient. What we also made use of was the laundry machine in the apartment, perfect to have that! Since the apartment has 24/7 security/reception services it feels very safe. Jaime was great and quick in communicating and we could profit from an early checkin as well as a late checkout. We travelled with a family of four and would definitely be happy to return! Thank you Jaime!
