Rafael is a great host! – he is really friendly and answers your doubts very quickly. He really cares that you fell as at home. The apartment is great, what you see in the pictures is really what you get, airy, clean, very well decorated and kitchen is well equipped too.
The location is amazing, just about 2 or 3 blocks from Copacabana beach. Near the apartment you can find good supermarkets, laundry, restaurants, banks, bikes for rental. It is also close to bus stops and subway station. I really recommend you to stay there. I will do this in my next trip to Rio!
