Filipe was a great host, very responsive and always eager to help me find my way around Rio. The apartment is exactly how it looks on the pictures. Apart from the occasional bugs in the kitchen :-) the rest was according to my expectations. The apartment is on the top floor of a building with 24 hour guard, 300 meters from the nearest metro and 500 from Copacabana beach. Given the busy times during the Olympics, I am very happy with this reservation.
