We had an amazing stay at Ricardo’s apartment in Ipanema. The location can’t be beaten, a block away from the beach and from the metro, and close to everything the Zona Sul has to offer. The apartment itself is bright and spacious even with 7 people sharing, and was clean, comfortable and quiet. Ricardo is a great host, quick to respond and work out a solution when we had WiFi problems. I would love to stay here again on future trips to Rio.
