Carlos is an excellent host.
Carlos left a basket of fruit and water, which is great for anyone who has just made a 10 hour trip.
The apartment is super well located, very close to the beach, with many restaurants and amenities nearby. Great beds, impeccable bed linen (including to change), bath towels (for all day a new one) and the beach towels, well equipped kitchen.
Reception staff and security very friendly, helpful and friendly.
when I return to Rio, I'll be sure to contact Carlos to stay at his apartment.
I strongly recommend it.
