Absolutely amazing. We have stayed at Carlos apartment with my parents and partner. Great experience, Carlos is a great host, was waiting for us at the apartment even thought we arrived after 10pm. House is superb, all necessary amenities and some extra touches made us feel very comfortable. Super safe place, which was key for us in Rio, lots of restaurants near by and super well located to go to the beach and attractions. I recommend, is not the cheapest but you will indeed stay in a luxurious apartment in a safe and nice area in Rio. My parents liked so much that they are considering stay over NYE in the next years there!
