Ricardo was a nice host, i never met him during my stay in Rio but he was quite reactive and answered my questions by email. Gret tips for restaurants!!!Ricardo's place is for sure one of the best value for money places you can get in Rio: neat, well equipped with a breathtaking view on the beach,actually the same one sheraton executive clients can get for much less ;)
The doormen were incredibly nice and helpful. I highly recommend to use the Sheraton facilities: pool, day use..and try their amazing breakfast (about 50 R) . The area is safe and a 10 min walk to Leblon beach. I wil definitely book Ricardo s place for my next vacation in Rio.
