Rodrigo is an excellent host who makes himself available 24x7 for any/all your needs. His place is very clean and modern, and has everything you need for a long term stay. I love the water purifier and his appliances are all top notch. The bed is very comfortable and the building is very safe and secure, with only a 5 minute walk to the beach. There's are 2 markets within 1 block walking distance and several restaurants in the area. I would not hesitate staying in his place again when in Rio.
