Chris & Francois went above and beyond to make sure I enjoy my first time in Rio. I appreciate their hospitality so much. Francois greeted me in person even though we arrived close to 11pm. Chris offered late checkout even before I asked (thank you Chris!). The place is so great, just minutes from the beautiful beach and central to everything. Everything you need is in the apartment (including beach chairs - how thoughtful). Highly recommend & I’ll definitely return next time I’m in Rio.
