Great stay in Rio! I didn’t personally meet Jose but we were greeted by Ramon who was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Check in was easy and quick. The place was as advertised, small and intimate, air conditioning, washing machine, and perfect location in Ipanema close to cafes and night life. The things that would make the place even better would be some finer details such as good quality soap and complimentary tea and coffee in the room. Oh also a safe in the room would be great too ! Thanks for a great stay !
