We had a great stay in Jose's apartment! All the elements are there for you to have a great stay in this private apartment for 1 or 2 people:
1) it has the best location in Ipanema (the best place to stay in Rio)! It is right next to the beach, and so close to good bars and restaurants and a good supermarket so you can make your own breakfast :)
2) it has everything: bathroom, fridge, kitchen, wifi all fantastic and bedroom had plenty of wardrobe space for 2 people
3) it has a great host! Jose is fantastic and really cares about you and whether you have a good time. He can arrange airport pickup (definitely worthwhile) and his colleagues also can help you out (a phone call away) if anything needs sorting or fixing.
Overall an excellent airbnb experience! This is probably the best value private accommodation for 2 people in Ipanema that exists- book it now and have a great trip!! :)
