The apartment exceeded all of my expectations.

The location was amazing. It is roughly two blocks from the beach, ten minutes from Arpordor Rock, a block from the metro and close access to bus and taxi. Lots of restaurants and two supermarkets close by.

The apartment itself is great- it has modern furniture, the beds were comfortable, wi-fi connection and speed were perfect, and the apartment is fully equipped with everything you can think of. There was fresh fruits waiting for us and the fridge was fully stocked with a variety of drinks. It is in a gated building with a 24 hour concierge, very friendly too.

As for Claudio, he is the perfect host. He is very kind, generous, and beyond helpful. He answered all of my emails in a timely manner, met us at the apartment with a smile and would periodically check in with me to ensure everything was going smoothly.

I could not have asked for a better host or a better apartment. This apartment is ideal for both long and short stays and I highly recommend anyone looking to stay in Rio, to stay here. I would definitely come back again. Thank you again for your great hospitality Claudio.
