Frederico is a delightful host who cares a lot about his guests. Well before we got to Brazil, he worked with us to help us plan our trip and recommended sightseeing tours, restaurants and local joints. He was kind enough to purchase tickets on our behalf so we could avoid lines and instead spend our day exploring! He knows Rio like the back of his hand and his suggestions were all top notch. The apartment was comfortable and conveniently located as well!
