Me and my daughter (17y) have spent 16 days at Brunos place. The communication with Bruno was from the first moment very easy, fast, exactly and friendly. The location of his apartment is the best you can find in Rio. Great restaurants, traditional and modern ones are walking distance, bus station is at the front of the building, metro station very close too, great shops, many popular juices bars, groceries, pharmacies, medical services... and most important, Brunos apartment is just two blocs (3 minutes walk) from the beautiful Ipanema beach. Apartment has everything you need, nice kitchen, living room and very spacious bedroom. It is almost not possible to find such an apartment in Rio which is located in the very vivid street and has totally calm and very fresh (we didn't even use air-condition) bedroom. As we have traveled and lived in Rio for some years I can ensure that Brunos apartment is absolutly worth renting every time you are there.
