Hugo is a great host. He's very accommodating and responsive. His place is very clean. It has everything you'll ever need during your stay. It is located in a safe area. There's a supermarket (Zona Sul) with a restaurant on the second floor right across the street from the building. If you enter the supermarket and exit at the opposite end, you will find yourself at the beach. The beach is that close. There's a washer and drying combo machine in the unit. Easy to get an Uber. My stay at Hugo's place exceeded my expectations and looking forward to staying here again when I return to Rio.
