I stayed at Jorge's place for one month. The apart hotel is located at arpoador one block from the beach. It's a short walk to Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. The neighborhood is very nice. There's a grocery a couple blocks away. And a good lunch buffet (Broth) two blocks away. Check in was super easy. There is a 24 hour attendant. I used the building laundry several times. It works fine. The apartment is well kept. The balcony is tiny but has a great view. Everything in the apartment worked well. The wifi and AC we're good. The host Jorge was very responsive. He gave me his what's app number. It was very easy to communicate with him. I had a great time. I highly recommend staying here.
