If you are looking for a nice, clean apartment with a great host (and very near the beach), this is the place for you! Osmar is a wonderful host - he stayed up late to help me check in after my flight and offered lots of tips for local activities. The place is also a two block walk from the metro, and a two block walk from Bike Itau (which I highly recommend!). The room is clean, the bathroom is nice, and the bedroom has air conditioning for summer visits. I recommend this place and would stay here again.
