So glad we chose to stay at Jose's apartment! The location was FANTASTIC, one block from Ipanema beach, restaurants all along the block and within walking distance of Arproador and Copa. We hired Jose's driver to meet us at the airport which was such a relief knowing someone would be waiting for us in a new country. We were then met at the apartment by Jose and Louis who checked us in and gave us some details on the area and apartment. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend staying here! :)
