Raul was really helpful -- from the minute we booked until the very end of our stay. The apartment is great in many ways-- location is right in the middle of the action in Ipanema, near great food options, two blocks from the beach and only 3-4 from the metro. Rio only has a couple of metro lines but there is great access to the rest of the city hotspots from the stop near Raul's apartment.

The apartment itself is really nice! Two bathrooms, big kitchen, comfy living room, great views of the beach and the city, etc. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking!
