I thought Henrique was very welcoming and we had regular dialog on whatsapp where he answered my questions about things I needed. The description of his apartment was quite accurate, I think. The location is perfect and was extremely convenient to get to everything. Henrique left a lot of really great snack/drink/fruit options in the apartment which really was helpful. One other thing is that there is a laundry machine in the apartment which really helps if you plan to stay in Rio for a while.
