Our stay with Ricardo could not have been better. His place is beautiful, and appears just like the pictures. He is a very attentive host when needed, we had a few minor issues with the oven when we first arrived and the next day he had it fixed for us. The view is incredible, the apartment is clean and well equipped. We cooked all our meals there for a week and the kitchen is basic but everything that you need is provided. Also, the small details in the apartment such as the record player (where you can also play music from your phone) and beautiful ornaments gave the place a really special feel. Thank you Ricardo, if I’m ever in Rio I will certainly stay with you and will recommend to anyone I know who is visiting.
