I did not have the chance to meet Fabio since he was very busy during the World Cup, but he did everything possible to make my friend and I confortable and answer all the questions we have including getting transportation from and to the airport at an affordable price. The location of the apartment is great, close to the beach, the Lagoa, The buses and Metro and the building is surrounded by restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, bars and anything you can think of. Fabio's aunt showed us the apartment and gave us tips on how to get the most from Rio, very nice lady. Thanks for the great experience and all your help Fabio especially for giving us some extra time to stay in the apartment after the check out time before getting back home. We really appreciate it.
