We had an amazing time at Roberto's place. We were 3, 20 something new yorkers traveling Brazil for a few weeks. His home is a home, not just a place to sleep. Besides all your normal amenities, he had beach gear, movies (loads of dvds), cooking wear, books, everything. The location couldn't be better, a few blocks from the beach and pretty central to any nightlife or city activities. The view from the roof is awesome and the doorman were there 24/7. Theres a great dog in the building named Jack Ruby, hope you're lucy enough to run in to him. Overall 2 thumbs up
