I stayed a week at Richard's, and it was everything I needed for my trip to Rio. I was arriving very late, so Richard left the keys at a nearby building with the doorman, with excellent instructions on how to find his place and to get in. The drinks, fruit and snacks were a lovely touch, the wifi was reliable, and the washer/dryer was so handy to have! I felt very safe there as well, which is important as I often travel alone. There is a 24 hour grocery store less than a minute walk away with most things you could need. All in all, an excellent experience for my first time in Rio. Obrigada!
