Ricardo was a perfect host. I was welcomed by the doorman who helped me with my bag and showed me to the apartment. The description of the condo was completely accurate - clean and had everything we needed. The location was great - the metro was literally outside the front door, 2 blocks from the beach and on a nice strip of shops. When we needed help or guidance during our trip, Ricardo responded almost immediately...including with a restaurant recommendation. I hope to visit Rio again soon!
