Carlos has a amazing apartment and has been extremely helpful from the moment we showed interested in booking, till the moment we checked out.

Using the airbnb was a first time experience for both parties so we weren't sure what to expect but it definitely worked out extremely well. As Carlos lives in the US he could not directly host us, but through contact by phone and airbnb all out questions and queries were answered about the apartment and the local area.

His flat is awesome. Is on the 7th floor with an amazing view and full of hi-tech gadgets that are all linked by a universal remote. Wifi was fine and the bed was comfy. Power shower and plenty of clothes space. We didn't cook but the kitchen is well equipped for what we needed. The apartment is just like the pictures, if not even better. What is also great is the apartment is based in a hotel so you get access to the gym.. Pool.. And a daily room cleaner. The entrance has security and reception too and there is a hotel restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner which is nice. As Carlos cannot be there his sister checked us in and out and is a lovely. They are both only a call away everytime we needed them.

Overall me and my girlfriend really enjoyed our time there.. It's a home from home.. The space and privacy you have, plus having the use of the hotel amenities is the best way to stay when on holiday in my opinion.
Copacabana beach is a few blocks to the left and Rio's largest shopping centre is 10mins walk to the right. The metro is a 15mins walk across the road so you are in a great location.
The only thing missing for us that would have been ideal was a hairdryer and UK plug converters.
We would definitely stay there again if we are lucky enough for another trip to beautiful brazil :-)
