Jose and his wife Karin were wonderful hosts to us. Both of them are very nice people and helped us a lot during these crazy times of Covid-19. The apartment looks exactly like it does on the picture and the view is awesome. Since Uber is unbelievable cheap in Brazil, it costs you almost nothing to go to all the tourist spots from there. I personally would choose this apartment over every other apartment in Rio. Thank you for this wonderful time at „the house of the rising sun“.
