Charles made us feel very welcome and kept in contact regularly before we arrived to make sure we would have everything we needed. The location is ideal in Copacabana Beach only a 5 minute walk to the beach and located really close to two Metro stops which means its really easy to see the other sites of Rio.
We were welcomed by his inlaws who made sure we had everything we needed and went out to get extra pillows for us and blankets as it was cooler at night - at the end of the trip they even drove my brother in law and his wife to the bus station to catch their connection.
It felt safe with an on site concierge who was pilot and loads of space to relax in the evening and a great kitchen to cook in.
There are some really nice restaurants near by so you never go short of places to eat.
Overall a great place to stay in Rio - as we were staying here during the Olympics it was a higher rate per night than normal but still significantly better value than some homeowners who had tried to make a quick profit.
Thank you Charles
