Bruno's place is truly THE place to be in Ipanema! It's location is fantastic! Situated just a block off of one of the main roads, but it's so quite! The area is very walkable and peaceful! Excellent restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Did I mention that Bruno gives some seriously great advice on restaurants to eat at and places to shop/see/do. A very short walk to the beautiful beach! An even shorter walk to the metro system that will literally take you to one of many locations in Rio! There is so much to see and do!
The apartment was everything I expected and THEN SOME! Extremely clean! Has a great little kitchen with anything you need to cook a meal if you so desire. We love cooking breakfast at home before hitting the streets to explore, makes it feel more like home than a vacation. The apartment has a 24/7 doorman, who are all very polite and recognized us each and every time! 2 bedroom 1.5 bath.
Bruno's communications skills are top notch! He kept us in the loop about the entire experience starting a week before our departure. If ever an issue arose he was able to respond within minutes if not within the hour!
Get ready to be blown away. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I have EVER had.
We will definitely have to return to Brazil in the future and stay at Bruno's again if it's available!
