Fantastic experience!! Michael was an amazing host and I cannot say enough about how helpful and informative he was.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable, perfect for a couple or potentially even additional people who were willing to share the same bedroom and bathroom and wanted to enjoy a comfortable and authentic Rio ambiance.
The Santa Teresa neighborhood surrounding the apartment gives a truly authentic Rio experience. The apartment is within walking distance (for someone able to walk up and down hills and steps) of downtown Rio as well as many neighborhood shops and restaurants. Easy access to the tram, subway, Metro and bus.
Overall, staying there was an awesome experience and definitely give Michael "5 stars" for going out of his way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. As an added bonus he was a terrific source of wisdom and tips for getting around Rio. Highly recommend this apartment and Host!
