Fabrizio's place was the perfect launch pad for a quick Rio visit. The location was central (one block to the beach, right down the street from Hotel Fasano so felt safe, around the corner from a beautiful grocery store, and right off the street of main shops). The doormen were extremely friendly and we felt safe the whole time despite not being able to speak Portuguese. The apartment itself is well decorated, bright, and the perfect launch pad for spending the day exploring. Would return especially for the price! Thanks Fabrizio & Vivian :)
