Leonardo communicated well and the place is a great location. It was clean overall, but needed a little attention in the drawers and the drawer pulls. Being able to wash clothes after a visit to the beach or a hot day walking downtown was so convenient! The AC works great! This apartment is the best in the building. There is not a great view from the apartment wi dow, but it is walking distance from Ipanema and Copacana beaches! It saved us money to be able to cook some meals and have a quick breakfast in the apartment. We loved our stay in Rio.
