Volnei was an amazing host, and his apartment was wonderful! It was exactly as pictured: very clean, spacious, updated, and in a fantastic location. Extremely close to the beach, restaurants, a supermarket, and public transportation. Upon arriving Volnei was very helpful with explaining some of the different parts of Rio and various things to do, being our first time there. He gave great advice and provided us with lots of material to be able to explore the city. Felt very secure and never had any issues with the apartment. I would highly recommend for anyone to stay here and would definitely stay again when I return to Rio.
