Host (*****): Sergio is a very friendly guy who takes care of everything you need. He provided me with additional equipments for my stay and he even took my luggage for one week with him after my stay.

Flat (****): The bed was comfortable and big. However, the flat is very small and some equipments don't work properly, such as the vacuum cleaner. Furthermore, the flat is actually one room with an open kitchen, including a fridge which is really loud. In the back of the flat is a Kindergarten, which also causes a lot of noise (Sergio warned me in advance!). Hence, I recommend to include ear plugs to your luggage for a longer stay of a couple of weeks as I did.

Location (*****): The location is great and safe. The flat is very close to a beautiful beach and the city of Rio de Janeiro (e.g., Lapa, Copacabana, etc.) can be accessed via cab, bus, or Uber within 20 minutes. During busy times, the airport is ca. 90 minutes away, during the night you only need 30-40 minutes.

To sum up: Thank you very much, Sergio!
