Julio's place is at a very good location; bus stop, metro, beach, bars, restaurants, van to Corcovado all within 2-5 mins of walking distance. Its a single bedroom adequate for 2 people within Julio's flat where his mom stays. Both Julio and his mom are very warm and friendly people and they make every effort to make you feel at home. Their warm hospitality will make you feel its your home away from home and make you want to come back to Rio again. Checkin time is flexible which is good and very helpful if you are arriving early morning like we did as most places have strict checkin for afternoon. Julio also helps his guests with detailed information about which places to visit and how to visit and when to visit. The place is clean and is exactly as mentioned in AirBnb. We had a great time at Julio's place and Rio. Looking forward to visiting Rio soon.
