I had a great time in Joze's apartment. The location of the apartment is amazing: 5 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to the metro station, a half block from a supermarket, and 5-10 minutes walk to many outstanding restaurants . The apartment is very clean, modern, and tastefully decorated, and it has everything one may need on a vacation. The Wi-fi was very good and never went down. The Nespresso machine is a great addition-I loved it. The apartment is in a very safe and clean neighborhood. Even though I did not meet Joze, everything went smoothly, from check-in to check-out. He was always available on WhatsApp answering all my questions. He has a booklet in the apartment that contains tips about the area, restaurants, shops, and I must say his restaurant suggestions were all top notch. When I got cold during my stay, he even gave me recommendations for over the counter medications for cold :). He is just an amazing host and I would stay in his apartment every time I am in Rio.
