Gustavo is a very attentive and considerate host, and the apartment is just as it is pictured. Everyone who visited complimented us about how nice it is. The neighborhood is also fabulous -- there are two supermarkets a short walk away, as well as some of Rio's best restaurants. We also appreciated how quiet the apartment is. But the thing I will never forget is how understanding Gustavo was when my daughter had a mishap with one of his things. I worried that he would be upset, but instead he immediately set to work making things right in a completely fair and equitable manner. I would definitely recommend the apartment, though it's best for someone who does not have a small child!
