This was really a great experience. Rafael is a great host, easy to deal with, very accommodating, very practical. The condo is great, 1 1/2 baths, 2 bedrooms, living room, a large kitchen. The building has a great terrace with stunning views. Easy walk or cab ride to Urca, the best hidden jewel of Rio. You can walk to Sugar Loaf, and Rio Sul, the best mall in Rio.
