We were 2 couples staying at Claudio’s apartment and it was a great set up with two bedrooms, a shared bathroom and guest toilet. Check-in was smooth as Claudio’s wife warmly welcomes us, giving us all the information and details we needed (they also accommodated our arrival time in the evening). The apartment was pretty much as described in the ad. It has a great location: couple of blocks from some of the best restaurants in Ipanema (and Rio), grocery store right on the corner, 5 min walk to the beach... we had a great time in Rio and really enjoyed staying at this location!
