I've been an Airbnb host for about three years and having loads of experience from both sides of the 'counter', I can safely say that Airbnb hosts that truly care, are not that easy to come across. Carlos is definitely one of them. When staying in a place like Vidigal, faced with a maze of city you don't know, nothing is more important than a host that can readily provide a galaxy of relevant local information, well-articulated and to the point. Carlos' helps you from the moment you get off the plane, to the one where you have many questions about the do't and don'ts of a favela - or when you just need to wash a heap of clothes well-travelled. It truly was a pleasure staying in Carlos' hostel and I would recommend it to anyone, not just visiting Vidigal, but Rio in general. This must be it's kindest place!
