Freddy was a great host, he was available for anything we needed throughout the trip and was always quick to respond to our messages. He was also able to accommodate last minute changes to our reservation, and even gave us amazing recommendations for our next stop in Buenos Aires which we thoroughly enjoyed. His apartment was perfect for us, we were 3 girls and we slept comfortably on the bed and the collapsible chair/beds. Also a huge plus for us was his hair-dryer lol it was great! The location was lovely as well, we felt safe in the neighborhood and the building (thanks to the 24hr doorman). It's about a 5 minute walk to copacabana beach and restaurants and bars. There is also a buffet next door that we took advantage of when we wanted a quick affordable bite and they have wi-fi! We also enjoyed balada mix for our daily açai bowls, the servers were really nice. All in all we had a great time in rio, & would certainly stay with Freddy again and we would definitely recommend him as a host if you're visiting rio! P.S if you're visiting BA check out Aramburu it was Freddy's recommendation and it won't disappoint!
