From the moment we were thinking of traveling to Rio, Rafael was nothing but fantastic. Lots of information and always available for questions during our stay. The apartment is beautiful! Perfect to relax on the terrace all day long. Kitchen had all the necessary appliances (and more). The bathroom is fully equipped as well. Sometimes you have to give up a few things to get a great location, but not with this apartment. The location is extrodinary, and there is nothing lacking for a perfect stay. Next time we head to Rio we will definitely be checking with Rafael to stay here again.
