Diogo is a fantastic host, he is very help has great communication and accomodates guests very well... The apartment is the most modern I have stayed in on visits to Rio, and I have stayed in many... The kitchen is new, the air con is good, the cable tv has a good selection of channels, the bathroom is new and the building is very secure with fingerprint recognition and door men 24 hours a day. It is also very close to the beach and very good value for this area
