Renato was very helpful and concerned about our wellbeing during the entire stay. He was on stand-by for tips and suggestions. The communication went smoothly in nearly flawless english. The fruit in the fridge was perfect for a warm welcome.
The apartment is very spacious, and exactly as shown on the pictures of the AirBnb-profile. The residential neighbourhood of Flamengo looks a bit outdated, but is quirky and safe (also after dark).
