Stuart's place was excellent. The location in Ipanema was ideal. The apartment was well equipped, very clean, safe, and as described. Stuart's communication before and during our stay made us feel welcome. The building caretaker Luiz was very kind and is a true asset to the building and its guests. We couldn't quite figure out the hot water in the shower, but I haven't stayed anywhere in Brazil where I could really get it right. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend. Thanks, Stuart!!
