Very comfortable, conveniently-located, and cheerful apartment on Ipanema and a short walk to Copacabana! Ideal for our one week stay. Rafael is a professional, responsive, and accessible host. Was ready to receive us after our early-morning arrival, left helpful instructions and suggestions, and arranged for us to leave our luggage with his housekeeper after check-out. He even made a restaurant reservation for us! When one of the air conditioners broke down, he had it fixed right away. Only drawbacks were having to lug our suitcases up and down three flights of stairs (though only once each way) and that the pictured monkeys only appeared in the tree outside the window once! You can't have it all. Muito obrigado, Rafael!
