Rommel's flat is very comfortable, clean, and conveniently located.

On Convenience:
It is a very short walk to the beach and down the block from the metro stop at the General Osorio park. This meant that every bus we ever needed to explore Rio stopped at or near the General Osorio, or stopped along the beach. The flat is also surrounded by several Zona Sul grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, shops, and anything you can ever need while on vacation. I loved being able to take advantage of the fresh fruit and vegetable market that pops up in the General Osorio on Tuesdays, as well as the different souvenirs you can buy there for the vendors that showcase their items on Sunday (jewelry, artwork, clothes, etc)

On Comfort:
Rommel is extremely responsive, accommodating, and helpful with suggestions. His pictures reflect the flat accurately so there were no surprises when we arrived. My fiance and I stayed in Rio for 10 days, and we're glad we chose such a spacious apartment to stay in. It could have easily accommodated another 2 people without anyone getting in each other's way. To us, it truly felt like a home away from home due to the personal touches and that it has everything you could need.
There is also a giant map of Rio hanging on one of the walls and several travel books available for you to use for researching where to travel. The area felt very safe to walk around.

If I come back to Rio, I would definitely stay at Rommel's again!
