Levy was a very welcoming host : he did not just hand the key and wish us a good stay instead he sat with us and gave us a lot of tips of how to enjoy our stay in Rio. After that he even showed us around in the neighborhood. The apartment is quite nice : a super Italian shower and closets with hangers to store our clothes. The only drawbacks were : the neighbor's AC (that was on litterally 24/7) was a bit noisy and the kitchen + living room part was quite dark even in the middle of the day. The location was perfect : we recommend!!
