I enjoyed the apartment with my girlfriend for a couple of days. Pedro is a nice and serious host definitely oriented to make your experience pleasant. He responded promptly giving several useful suggestions and he was definitely flexible for both check in and check out. The position is pretty strategic for either the distance from the beach, public transport and restaurants/place to drink. The building is definitely safe with 24h surveillance. The neighborhood is also safe. If travelling by car I would suggest parking it in one of the several paying parking next by (that Pedro will be happy to reccomend). Thanks Pedro, Julia and I will be glad to pass by your place next time in Rio.
