Ricardo has the nicest place in Rio by far!! I traveled in Rio for almost a month and stayed at several different hotels, AirBnBs, hostels, etc. and Ricardo's place was THE BEST. It has amazing amenities & a mini split A/C system in each room! The location was extremely safe with a 24/7 guard at the entrance to the apartment. It is 2 blocks away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Rio as well. Ricardo was extremely easy to work with & always got back to me on my questions right away. I will be looking to book here every time I travel to Rio.
