First to all, my original airbnb reservation got cancel a few days before my arrival to Rio de Janeiro.
I contacted Carlos a day before my arrival to Rio and he replied right away approving our staying.
Due to the short notice, He had a previous guest staying in the apartment until 7pm on the day of our arrival. so he let us stayed one night in one of his others apartments with not extra cost in front of the Ipanema Beach.
Carlos and Fernanda, his helper, were courteous and attentive at all times. He replied any questions that we might have almost instantly. The location on both apartments are beyond amazing. The apartment is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and safe. If you are not sure were to stay this place and host are the best.
