Cesar's place was really special. From the moment I walked in to meet him and receive the keys and a tour of the apartment, everything made me feel like I had really arrived in Rio: from the amazing view of the Lagoa, Corcovado, and the mountains surrounding Ipanema, to the large windows, beautiful terraces, and thoughtful interior design.

Cesar was a perfect host - very helpful and responsive as needed. The housekeeper was able to help keep the apartment tidy while I stayed there. The cold pool was perfect after days at the beach. And the location can't be beat - in the middle of everything but high above it at the same time - with views to match.

Thank you, Cesar!
