I stayed at Carlos' apartment for ten nights recently for a conference in the Windsor Barra Hotel. The location was sensationally close to the conference site (just across the street). Above all, the apartment was absolutely comfortable and so well-furnished. It had just about everything that I could have wished for. My host, Carlos, made sure at all times that I was well taken off and was always responsive, though I didn't really need anything else from him, as the apartment was quite perfect. It was a really very touching gesture by him to prepare a welcome breakfast with a selection of tea, coffee, ham, cheese, cereals and more. I would certainly recommend the apartment highly to anyone going to Rio.
