Bob was very welcoming. Arrived within minutes of me calling him to notify of arrival. Fridge partially stocked, local phone with credit in the apartment.
The location is very central to the beach. It's a busy area and so can be noisy, but I think that's the case for anywhere one or two blocks from either Copacabana or Ipanema. Apartment perfect for one person, but would be ok for two too. Bed very comfortable and as the description. And clean. All in all a home from home.
