Antonio’s place is superb and Antonio is a super host. The place is near the central area and just walking distance to Santa Teresa, Cathedral. We were in Rio to attend the Carnaval at Sambadromo which was only walking distance from his place. Antonio is a great host and very helpful in giving tips on going around Rio. He went extra miles to help us change our money to Brazilian Real, set up our local sim card and even help us with our laundry. We were there for 4 nights and this is the first time we experienced a host cleaning the common area of the house on a daily basis! The area of the house is safe and Antonio is very reliable as well. Definitely will stay again if we revisit Rio! Highly recommended!
