I really enjoyed staying at this apartment. First of all, Jose hospitality made me feel at home. He could not have been any nicer. He arranged for Ramon (a gentleman who works with him) to pick us up at the airport for a nominal fee. It was cheaper than taken a taxi and it was wonderful for me since it was my first time in Rio. The apartment is beautiful, very clean and perfect for one or two people. It is situated in a safe area just a few blocks away from Ipanema Beach. My experience was all in all fantastic. I sincerely recommend Jose and this apartment to anyone who would like to have a great time in Rio!
