Thanks to Adriano's place, our stay in Rio was all we hoped for and more! His place is very cozy, always clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable, the room was good size with perfectly working air-condition. The location is THE BEST! It is in Ipanema (the best neighborhood in Rio), Ipanema beach is only 2 blocks away (5 min walk), Metro and Bus stop is within 5 min walk as well, restaurants, groceries (basically everything you need) is only a few steps away from his apartment. Love how it was in top city location and so accessible to everything-- unbelievable for the price you pay especially during world cup season! Adriano is very friendly, very knowledgeable about the city and have great recommendations for activities. He shares the unit with his brother but in all honesty, it felt like my husband and I were the only people who were there. It was quiet and very comfortable stay. We cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed his place very well. If you are looking for the most accessible, inexpensive, clean and comfortable room in the best location in Rio, look no further and book this place now! Highly recommended!!!
