Michael made me feel secure in my travels before I even left my home state! He is an open and avid communicator and genuinely care for your home and city experience. The location was perfect with the subway and taxis right out the front door! A few blocks from the beach you really felt like you were part of the beach community after a short time. The streets are well lit and transportation easy to find. The apt is small but comfortable tho I don't recommend for more than 2 adults. Again can't say enough great things about Rio and Michael!
