I had the pleasure of staying at Vittor and Carlos’s space. I chose this spot because they are superhosts and it was my first time in Rio. I didn’t want to be alone in the big city. It was the right choice. Carlos doesn’t speak English so I mostly communicated with Vittor and he is lovely, caring and super helpful. The room is super comfortable and the apartment is in the heart of Ipanema which is an awesome area to have as a home base. The bedroom is located right on the street which I loved because I felt like I was part of the action. It was also kind of cool to interact with other guests, through Vittor our unofficial translator. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you are not familiar with Rio and because they are such nice people to stay with.
