Ricardo and Antonio were the most perfect hosts. I was in Rio for my 35th birthday and this was my first time traveling solo. They rolled out the red carpet for me, inviting me to hang with their friends, suggesting places to eat, drink, and soak up culture and making sure I was safe! And they bought me a cake! So sweet. They have THE BEST view of the city, hands down! Their rooftop captures two huge mountains (including the famous Sugarloaf) and the port with all of the boats and scenic water view. The building they live in is accessible and in a safe and convenient location, close to attractions and the beach. I will definitely stay with them again when I visit Rio!! Incrível!!
