Fabio's apartment is great. The location is excellent -- a quick walk to the beach, shopping, and a taxi stand on a nearby corner. The apartment is clean and well equipped, and the kitchen is unusually large by Rio standards. Fabio and his friend, Sebastian, were quick to respond, and were overall great hosts. They took the extra step of arranging a bike for me to use, and brought over a play mat for our baby daughter. We will definitely return on future visits.
