Alan was a great host. He addressed an issue with the bedroom door key immediately. This involved Alan having a locksmith change the lock on the bedroom door. This was done in less than 1 hour. Would not happen that fast at my own home. The candies and bottles of water that he provided made a big impression. The beach and restaurants were two blocks away. Everything that you wanted within step. I was met at the apartment my Jurema who was an angel. She made sure that I settled in comfortably and even went to exchange some money for me. Beijos Jurema por tudo!!! When I return to Rio I will definitely stay with my good friends Alan and Jurema. Many blessings. Joseph
