Claudio was a wonderful host especially given the short notice with which we booked his apartment (on the same day). He was very accommodating and flexible with our demands and this is before I mention his great spacious apartment located very close to Leblon beach.
I especially liked the tips of things to do and places to eat which they had left on their notice board. We found this very useful! I would recommend this apartment.
The only negative was that the price of the apartment came out to more than we had thought, but I think that this is more a problem with airbnb than the hosts.
