After a bit of a delay in communication about collecting key, we arrived 1 hour earlier but was able to collect call Ramon (Jose's assistant) who turned up within 10 mins. The apartment is exactly as described, comfortable and there's even a water filter for drinking so we didn't have to buy bottled water all the time. One of the bathroom shower failed to produce hot water , messaged Ramon who organized the repair the next day. Overall an enjoyable stay, location is excellent , only 10 mins walk to Ipanema beach, taxi everywhere very easy to flag and lots of cafes, bakeries, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, cambios and supermarket nearby. There's also a metro station nearby, buying fare and figuring out directions was quite easy from the map in the station.
