I organised Andrè's apartment for my father in law's 60th birthday present. Andrè was excellent and prompt in his communication before and during their trip, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. My father in law and his wife left the following feedback:
Andrè's apartment was pretty much perfect! Andrè was so helpful with his advice before and during our stay, communicating whenever we needed via whatsapp to make sure we were comfortable (including booking airport transfers). We met Fabio (Andrè's brother) both on arrival and on departure.
The apartment was wonderfully located in the middle of Botafogo, just in front of the beach.
The train station was very close and only a few minutes walk to the major attractions. There is also a huge shopping centre nearby and fantastic restaurants.
The apartment itself had everything we needed; coffee machine, brand new washing machine, microwave, fridge and oven etc. Everything was well maintained and clean. Maybe the only down part was the bathroom, which was a little narrow and had a very small sink so we brushed our teeth in the kitchen- though this wasn't a problem for us at all.
There was always security around which made us feel really safe.
Thanks Andrè for a wonderful stay and for helping make our trip to Rio so memorable!
