Michaels place was perfect for my boyfriend and I! We stayed for 5 days, and we had everything we needed. Michael was very accommodating and met us late in the evening to exchange the key, as our flight did not get in till after 10pm. He met us at the apartment as planned and he was great! Offered a lot of suggestions on bars/restaurants in the neighborhood. The listing description is very accurate. It's a quick 5-10 minute walk to Copacabana in one direction and Ipanema in the other - perfect! There is a great juice bar right outside on the corner that we went to every morning for a quick breakfast - very convenient! We had been traveling for a few weeks prior to arriving in Rio, so we really enjoyed that Michaels place had a washer/dryer for us to use! The wifi was also very fast. I would definitely recommend this place for 1-2 people traveling through Rio who prefer to live like a local rather than in a hotel. We'll hopefully be back again to stay!
