I would say Ricardo's apartment is one of the best options in Rio. It's perfectly located, just a couple of minutes from Leme beach, surrounded by restaurants. The flat inside is really cozy, perfectly equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. The view from the bedroom of the Jesus statue is beautiful! The apartment located on the last floor so it was always quiet. Air condition, works perfectly... Dunno what to add, it was a pleasure to stay there for ten days. Ricardo is relly helpful host, he was always in touch, but I haven't really needed to connect with him a lot because everything was clear:)
