Adriano was a doll! He was so nice and was waiting for me upon my early arrival. His place is absolutely perfect. It's clean, has hot water, great air conditioner and has everything you would need including an elevator for bringing up your luggage! You cannot get a more perfect location of the apartment as everything is just steps away, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, banks, taxi, grocery, and of course the beach!!! There is a doorman and the area is completely safe to go in and out at all times (as I did). Adriano was so kind to even help me figure out how to purchase a SIM card for my phone....he was always available.
Thanks so much Adriano for making my very first Airbnb experience so great and inviting, I will definitely be back every time I am in Rio.
I will see you again my friend!
