Renato is the best host one can hope ! He's very reactive and caring for his guests while respecting their privacy AND he speaks English for those who haven't mastered Portuguese yet (Good luck with that in Rio haha !). When I arrived, he gave me a lot of advices to get around in the city, important safety tips and was always available for any question I had. The room was super clean, well-equipped and big enough. Renato provided me with more than what I needed (towels, shampoo, even a bag haha) The bathroom was perfect ! (Girly girl talking here). Never had an issue with the wifi. The location is the best ! Neighborhood is really nice, and felt safe EVEN THOUGH you should always be careful. Building has a guard. Close to the beach (5-10 minutes walk from the apartment to Copacabana beach, Ipanema is really close as well), right near a metro station as well as supermarkets. I have at least 72028 positive remarks but I think I made my point haha. I'll just finish by saying that Renato is super kind and cool. I'm already missing Brasil but I also miss staying at what began to feel like home ! Muito obrigada por tudo 🙏🏽
PS : Santinha is adorable !
