Levy is a wonderful host. He was always very thoughtful, including before our arrival at the apartment and after we left it. During our check in he gave tons of useful recommendations and piece of advice. The loft is small, but very cozy just like one sees it on the pictures. The neighborhood is another positive issue. it's very close to 3 beaches, grocery store is right at the corner of the street, and there are buses which run to everywhere in Rio. My friends and I had a blast time. We would love to go back to Rio and stay in Levy's apartment again one day.
