This apartment is exactly as described in the listing. It was very clean and well maintained. It is a very quiet location since the buildings block any street noise. Rafael is a very friendly guy and was available in case there were any issues.
The apartment is in an excellent location if you want to enjoy Arpoador, Ipanema, and Copa. Parking isn't a big problem if you know how to park in Ipanema and how the ticketing system works. In all, it was a very good place and I would recommend it.
