The day I walked into Rodrigo's apartment, within a few minutes, I was completely comfortable in his presence. Besides possessing a great sense of humor, Rodrigo is genuinely friendly, outgoing, and a complete gentleman.
On a few occasions, Rodrigo introduced me to his girlfriend, his mother and his friends.

His apartment is spacious, cozy, tastefully furnished, and VERY clean, which I totally appreciated. I love to cook and his kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils and apparatus one might require in whipping up a full course dinner.
Although I chose a small bedrooms (with private bathroom), closet and cupboard space was more than ample.
Location is great - Flamengo Metro across the street, downtown less than 10 minutes, Copacabana and Ipanema less than 15 minutes, big supermarket, bars, restaurants and shopping centres in the immediate area.
One thing I am certain about . . . I'll be booking well in advance to be sure I 'll be confirmed at Rodrigo's apartment next year.
Needless to say, highly recommended!
