Brunello is very knowledgeable about where to go in Rio, how to get around and things to do which I found to be very helpful. As for the apartment, it’s very clean and the location can’t be beat, it’s a very quick walk to the beach. Also Brunello let me check in earlier than the agreed upon time since I got to Rio quite early in the morning, that was much needed. I recommend Brunello a host to anyone that has the good fortune of visiting Rio de Janeiro.
