Jose's apartment was perfect. The location is brilliant, ideally situated between Copacobana and Ipanema it is only a 5 or 10 minute walk to either beach! There are plenty of supermarkets and places to eat near by as well as banks and good bus connections. Jose left a very helpful manual with guidance on how to get to the big tourist attractions which we really appreciated.

We walked around all the time and felt completely safe, the area was great.

The flat itself was exactly as described, it has everything you need and is lovely and tidy.

Jose and his brother were extremely helpful throughout and arriving and leaving was hassle free. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rio and if we visit again would love to stay in Jose's studio once more.
