Had an incredible experience staying at Carlos' place! The apartment is in a great location in Ipanema, a short walk from the beach and surrounded by restaurants and things to do. He became a good friend during my stay and made my time in Rio special.
Carlos was extremely responsive, proactive and helpful during my stay. He went out of his way to make sure my needs were met and shared tips for Rio. He kept things clean and was a delight to be around, although we both had our own space.
I worked remotely, and the wifi was reliable and fast. Carlos got a desk for the room, which was much appreciated!
AC in the bedroom worked well although there isn't AC in the bathroom, and it wasn't working in the living room/kitchen although Carlos is working to get someone to come fix it. The dryer is actually a drying rack - FYI since it was something I had filtered for.
The room is pretty basic, so if your priority is having a great host and location, this is for you! Thank you, Carlos!
