The house of Ronaldo is in a very good location in beautiful Ipanema. We have been in Ipanema before but this is definitely the best spot. Beautiful street, very quite and short walking distance from the best restaurants of Rio that are all in the parallel street so for us was fantastic! Ronaldo seems really a nice person who was very quick to respond and he gave us lots of suggestions to things to do and visit in beautiful Rio. Beth who is his lovely neighbor, received us with the most warm welcome and despite we don’t speak Portuguese and she doesn’t speak English we didn’t have any problems of communication. Very nice person. The house is very clean and even if is not new we really appreciate that we had more than we need in terms of things to use. Soap for laundry ( thank you, really appreciate it) , lots of kitchen utensils, tea towels, cleaning products, clean and nice towels and soap and Netflix tv (thanks ) . The shower is really good, hair dryer very useful and I loved the stone kitchen sink ! We were little nervous when we booked the place because for some reason someone left a negative review but I can garant you that is a very good place to stay in Ipanema and very good value for money and the doorman is always so nice , we felt home in Rio .
