This host and apartment are amazing! Yuri, was an excellent host. I arrived much earlier than my expected arrival time and Yuri made sure I had access to the apartment. He also allowed me to pay him a very small fee to check out late because my flight left Rio at 8:30 p.m. He's a very hospitable host. The apartment is immaculate. It's one block away from the beach and surround by tons of shops, restaurants and even a movie theatre. The apartment is spacious, very well decorated, clean and inviting. You will not be disappointed renting this apartment. It's like staying at a 5 star hotel. Don't think twice about renting this apartment.
