We stayed a week in Ricardos flat and had a good time. The Copacabana Beach was just some minutes away and also Ipanema Beach was reachable after a 10-15 minutes walk. The flat was clean just the plates and glasses in the kitchen were a bit dirty. We stayed one week with four adults and it was ok, but it's definitely better for a couple. Ricardo was answerd always in time and was really friendly. We would recommand the flat but for a couple or two adults with two children :)
