Rafael was amazing. I did a last minute instant book he was very accommodating and nice. I love the area as its at the beginning of Ipanema . The apartment is modern with all the amenities washer/dryer A/C Its also a very cozy and comfortable space that is elegant not cold or sterile. He was also responsive and available if I needed help or directions regarding things to see. Mostly the apartment was in a prime location steps to the beach and in a nice quiet neighborhood. The fridge and pantry was stocked with perfect items. I would stay here again.
