We stayed in Francesco's apartment for 20 days in August with my colleague during Olympic Games 2016 in Rio. I still feel that we were really lucky to stay at his place because:
- great apartment, very cozy, comfortable and clean, with enough space for two people to live and have rest together or separated, independent bathrooms and bedrooms
- good neighborhood - just 6 mins from Copacabana and at the same time out of touristic crowds and noise, quite family building
- in addition in the same building we found local supermarket where from the early morning you can buy fresh baked bread, croissants, orange juice and whatever
- Francesco was always in touch with us in case of questions, fast in replies and speaking fluent English which is important in Brazil)
- Francesco recommended us interesting places around and surfing instructor which made our staying much better
- of course, hammock forever)
I definitely recommend staying here for other visitors of Rio :)
