Roberta and Rodrigo were wonderful hosts. Their apartment is located in a trendy, safe neighbourhood and is only about a 10 minute walk to the most popular beaches in Rio. The apartment was accurately described, the pictures doing it justice. It was a small place with lots of good storage hacks (hidden bed, roll out table, etc.) Their kitchen came fully furnished enough for me to make a meal for 7 people while there. It was clean and the AC was spectacular for warm Rio days. Highly recommend!!
