Francesco is an amazing host and truly cares about his guests! I really felt like home when I stayed in his house; it was always a pleasure to have a conversation with him over a coffe or a Caipirinha! The place is very well located, close to the beach and tons of restaurants/ shops, with a secured entrance. The room is very bright and spacious with a nice view. Oh and Francesco is an excellent cook! Thank you so much for your warm hospitality! If I'm back to Rio I'll deffinately to stay there again if it's available! Grazie mille! 😊
