What to add more to the other positive reviews?
We spent 6 nights in Felipe’s apartment in the second week of November and enjoyed our stay a lot.
First of all Felipe: great host, very responsive, true description of apartment, amenities and advantages!
Rio: if you think 5 days are enough, you are wrong.
Apartment: Very spacious and comfortable apartment. 2 bathrooms. As described and more. In any respect much better value than any of the expensive hotels in the area with small rooms.
Location: Superb location – metro, one minute to Ipanema, Copacabana around the corner. Extremly safe. Forget about all the warnings on the internet about safety – just engage your brain and caution and enjoy.
Bikes: bikes!!! – you can literally do everything by bike - beaches, at the end of Copacabana through the tunnel to Pao do Azucar, Laguna, Centro, Corcovado station, Santa Teresa, etc. – we used the bikes every day. Best way to see Rio and get around.
Heavy rain in Rio: when you get soaking wet, you are lucky if you have enough space to dry your clothes.

We return again. To Rio and to Felipe’s apartment.
