Very nice place; nice and bright during the day, and very quiet at night. Truly excellent location. Perfect if you like swimming: just a few meters from a very nice part of the beach (Ipanema). On days where the waves are too big on Ipanema you can just walk a few hundred meters to the end of Copacabana instead. Everything worked in the flat, including reliable internet connection. Rafael was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again!
