We were very very happy with our stay at Gustavo's place! We had lots of room for 4 people. It's in a safe neighborhood and only take 5 minutes to walk to an incredible beach. The maid service was great too. It was like staying in our own private hotel!

And, Gustavo is a great host! He made sure to reach out before our trip to make sure we had all of our questions answered. When we arrived, he personally met us at the place and showed us the important things - like how to get to the beach using the ferry, how to use the laundry, how to connect to the free wifi, and how to turn the TV to english speaking stations :)

If you're looking for a place to stay in Rio, I highly recommend staying here.

Pros: close to the beach, air conditioning, wifi, satellite tv, secure building in a safe neighborhood, 2 full bathrooms, & maid service
