We stayed in the apartment for 2 weeks and it was perfect. The apartment was exactly like the pictures and was quite spacious. It was very hot in Rio and having AC in the main living room and each bedroom was incredible after a full day in the sun.
Host was very responsive and had someone welcome us, gave us a tour of the place and made us feel very settled in.
Location was great - close proximity to Ipanema and Casablanca beach, restaurants, bars and hikes (two brothers).
Highly recommend staying here for anyone visiting Rio!
