This apartment was in the perfect location for exploring Rio! A less than 10 minute walk to both Copcabana and Ipanema beaches, and the Metro stop is literally right in front of the building. Bars, restaurants and shopping are also close by. As a solo female traveler I felt safe staying there and walking around the neighbourhood.
The apartment itself was really clean and well appointed (super comfy bed, reliable and fast wi-fi).
Michael was a great host and responded to my queries promptly throughout my stay, as well as providing useful advice when I arrived.
Overall: highly recommended!
