Charles’ place is quite spacious and the location is great. Everything is near by: beach, restaurants, super markets, banks and drug stores, etc. Very easy to get to Leme Fort, Sugar Loaf Mountain, especially if you compare it to Ipanema.
Check-in, check-out was a breeze. He even pre-stocked water and bananas to help me settle down easily. He was also kind enough to let me stay much later than the 11am check out time so I did not have to worry about where to stay before my 5:15pm flight. Thank you so much, Charles! I won’t hesitate to choose your place again if I revisit Rio some day.
