My stay at Roberto's apartment was comfortable. He had enough beds/futons/mattresses to make the place comfortable for a group/family. I was pleased to see that he had several travel adapters available if you forgot to bring yours. He has an interesting view of a favella, I enjoyed it. The place was very secure with a 24 hour doorman, which was very important to me. However you will need to know Portuguese to get by. His cleaning staff that come upon checkout were very nice and very helpful, I loved them. The downside would be the bathroom, the shower area is very small and its tricky to work the hot water and the other half bathroom is in what seems to be a tiny closet. His kitchen is very clean and he has filtered water available. Nonetheless, for the price and location I thought this accommodation was great. Thank you Roberto for being so accommodating and opening your apartment to my friends and I.
