Small but nice and completely equipped appartment with an ideal location as already mentioned in other reviews : next to the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, next to bus stops and not far from a metro station. The juice bar on the ground flour of the building is handy too : we had breakfast there every morning, with really delicious coffee and fresh fruit juices.
We have not seen Chris but we communicated thru email and he's been very nice about late check out : he could not let us use the appartment itself since he had a same day check in but we could use another flat in the same building to leave our luggage and relax befote heading off to the airport. Vivian is a very nice lady too and always available for information or any other type of help. In short, we absolutely loved our stay in Rio.
