We had an excellent stay. Jose greeted us when we arrived even though we got there later than planned due to a flight delay. He was very friendly and helpful for suggestions of places to eat in the area. The location of this rental is perfect!!! We liked being able to meet our host and that we could easily contact him as we had any questions. Jose was always quick to reply and we would gladly rent this apartment again if we come back to rio. It was very comfortable.
