Bruno is a warm and outstanding host. He was there early to welcome me. Bruno has a love of Paris that's evident in the art and in the eiffel tower keychain. So as a world traveler it seems he's thought of everything. There are towels for your shower, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste. He filled the fridge with beer, large bottles of water, juice and Coke. He also had a bottle of champagne and two glasses waiting for us. The shower has awesome water pressure and a shower head I took a picture of to consider using at my home. The place is very trendy. Contemporary Art surrounds the place.
The apartment is three small blocks from the beach. Around the corner is a train with a 8 minute ride to Ipanema. Take it and save yourself Time and money if you are interested in the nightlife in Ipanema.
The neighborhood is safe with lots of corner "cafes" open into the late night for your post-bar walk home. We love Rio & definitely hope to stay at Bruno's place again.
There is no dedicated wi-fi in the apartment but you can occasionally pick some up on your phone and if you sit on the large gate enshrined deck outside the building you can definitely pick up some and it will let you carry it back to your room for some short stretches of time.
