Luis Felipe was an amazing host. We will stay here again if and whenever we come back to Rio. He was available for any questions we had.
IMPORTANT: We had a medical emergency, and had to rush to a hospital. Though it is your personal decision and you contact your personal doctor, Copa D'Or hospital is a short ride away with a 5star medical staff. They speak English there which made our time there very comfortable, and took care of our emergency very well.
The apartment is in a great location, so close to Ipanema beach. Good space, and it even has an extra mattress if you're more than 2 people. It is well equipped, and we took advantage of the kitchen and made breakfast - especially the coffee maker. Just bought a pack of coffee for 3BRL at the store. There is a very convenient grocery store nearby, and a restaurant called Felice which I recommend.
