This place was great! It is extremely convenient to Ipanema and Copacabana. The train station is literally 20 feet away. The apartment has everything you would need for a vacation in Rio, it is super clean and new. It is in a little cul-de-sac, so it is more quiet than the surrounding hustle and bustle of the city. There is a cafe across the street that has amazing sucos (juices.) Michael was great with communication before and during our stay, and flexible with accommodating us. I would definitely stay there again!
