Yuri's apartment is a charming studio in the hear of ipanema and only 2 blocks from place 10 on the beach. the apartment is exactly as described. Most of all Yuri is a great host. there was a minor issue with the door lock and he showed up only 30min after I called him up...even if it was at 9pm. I thought that really showed his commitment to making your stay as good as possible. he was also extremely kind to bring us over a hairdryer on another day. I can only recommend this place for your stay in Ipanema.
