Adriano's flat is a great base to explore Rio. It is right by the beach, restaurants, supermarket, fair every Sunday, metro and buses. It is also extremely safe and has a doorman.
The apartment itself is incredibly clean. We returned to the apartment multiple times and stayed in both rooms available and both had comfortable beds, AC and plenty of space.
Adriano is a great host who is available when you need to ask for help and tips. He was also extremely flexible with our stay as we came for 3 trips!
Definitely recommended and we'll hopefully return for a 4th!
