Heraldo has been the best host in Rio I have ever experienced and I have spent a total of a year here. He is communicative, clean, and the apartment is very modern. Kitchen is fully equipped with an exhaust vent which I have not seen anywhere else in Brazil. The washing machine also has a drier setting which I haven’t seen before. The home has a great water purifier machine and tons of sunshine that comes into the living room which doubles as a plus when it comes to hang drying your clothes. The bedroom: you have plenty of closet space and can make it as dark or bright as you like. The bathroom: is large with huge storage and mirrors and it’s fully equipped and has a huge waterfall shower with great pressure and heat. Finally, the two air conditioning units work really well and ensure you have a great nights sleep. I could not recommend this apartment, location, and host anymore than words can describe!!!!
