From the minute you open the door to Bruno's apartment, you know you are in for a treat. The view over Ipanema is unbeatable, and the apartment itself is thoughtfully decorated and immaculate. We loved its quiet location, and yet the restaurants and bars on Rua Farme de Amoedo are a minute away, and the beach is super-accessible.

Bruno was excellent at speedily resolving an Internet service interruption; with his friendly nature and savvy problem-solving I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a host.

Enjoy your stay at Bruno's. Just don't book it when I want to go back!
