Michael is a wonderful gentleman. He is very kind and accommodating, and very flexible on the timings of check-in and out. Upon check-in, he walked us around the neighbourhood to make us feel at home around the area. The immediate area around his place is a safe-feeling residential area that has people walking by even on weekends. During my stay in Rio, unfortunately I got robbed and sustained injury. Michael personally met us at the hospital, and accompanied me to the police station to report the incident. Top notch AirB&B Host!
