Gerardo's place is very beautiful and big and had the best view in Rio! good location many options for food, shopping, and nightlife. I unfortunately didn't get to meet Gerardo personally but he was great with communication and very helpful, but I did meet Pepa the women who oversees the house and gives you the keys. she was a lovely lady and very helpful. I highly recommend staying at Gerardos penthouse 5 stars all around!
