This was the fourth time I’ve stayed at Ridrigo’s place. It’s a great, cheerful, clean place in a super-quiet building in the best location in Rio. The apartment is located midway between Copacabana and Ipanema; close to both beaches, tons of restaurants and shopping, in a beautiful neighborhood of tree-lined streets. You can’t beat Rodrigo’s place for location, ambiance, and convenience. He’s a very friendly, completely reliable guy. The apartment is very safe with a doorman, combination door lock (no keys to keep up with) and a safe. It’s also got everything you need as far as cooking is concerned. More things I like about the place; high ceilings, great urban view, Netflix, close grocery store.
