Richard's place is just as advertised - stylish and well designed with an amazing location. He has a ton of great reviews for a reason! You can tell that a lot of time was spent thinking about the little things, it is really smartly designed. The street is also very safe, right below a Policia Militar batallion and very close to some of my favorite bars and restaurants in Rio (I'm a local). Richard was also very accommodating when I needed to check out late. I would definitely rent from him again and I highly recommend his flat.
