The host is kind and waited for me for late check-in. He's quite fast in responding to messages. I had trouble with the internet connection there and he tried to help. But that did not work out, so I had to leave. I also did not like that apartment as it was old, the bed was not comfy, and all day was terrible noise due to some workers in the building, then party at night. But, it might not be your experience. Maybe I just had bad luck with my Rio trip.
