We stayed at Antonios house for 7 nights and it was a beautiful place in a great location. It is located right between the city and the beaches with easy access to transport. Antonio and his mother were very friendly and accommodating. Antonio gave us details on what transport to get, how to get to the sights and always helped us with any other information we needed. The room was comfortable and a good size. We were able to use the kitchen facilities to cook every evening and Antonio was always generous if we needed any extra ingredients. I would definitely stay at Antonios again if I'm ever in Rio. I had a wonderful experience.
