There is no better location in Rio, right across the road from the world famous Ipenema beach and set in a quite and tranquil nook. This apartment was everything that we needed, a perfect position and a relaxing environment to come back to after a busy day exploring the beautiful city of Rio. Rafael has been such a gracious host, we left late at night and he saw us off. We were unable to travel that night so we returned to the apartment and Rafael happily accomadated us. Thank you Rafael for a great stay!
