Carlos was a great host, with him even coming to meet us at the end of the street so we didn't get lost when we were checking in. He was always quick to reply to any questions we had as well. We stayed over the Olympics so there were a lot of people staying in the apartment at the same time, so was a bit messy and cramped at times- although we weren't really in too much due to watching Olympic events. Luckily for our last few days Carlos moved us into the apartment downstairs so we were able to have our own space and room to enjoy!! Location was ok and very close to Sugar Loaf mountain (15min walk), Copacabana beach (20min walk) and the closest metro station (20min walk)
