Freddy was an awesome host. I arrived very early on Saturday morning and he was already waiting for me at the apartment. The apartment looks exactly like on the picture, and has all essential things you need. My mom and I have stayed for two weeks in Rio and couldn't wish for a better host and location. Supermarkets were close, as were cafés, and stores. Bus stop is on the opposite side of the street and a subway station is several blocks away. Copacabana beach is 3 blocks away and you can take walks whenever you want, it's safe even later in the evening. If you want to use cabs, you can get them at any time outside. Freddy was very attentive and responded to my messages when I asked about several attractions and how to get there. He also brought us clean sheets and towels in a middle of our stay. I was looking for an experience living not in a hotel but in the apartment and see how Brazilian people live. I got that experience and thank you Freddy again for your hospitality.
