Rudy is a host that you feel like a good friend who is there to help you at every stage. The apartment is at the best location in Rio and Ipanema literally 200m from Metro and like 4 blocks from the beach. Lots of amazing restaurants around and there is a police presence always on this street. The apartment itself has good view, lots of natural light and 24 hrs security. I can't emphasize enough that this would be the best Airbnb price vs value you can find in Rio! highly recommended
