Matthias was an amazing host. The apartment was everything and above what was promised. He was always there to help during our stay in terms of any questions we had and any issues we were facing. It’s located in an amazing area, very close to Lapa and everything else in Centro. One short uber ride to everything else in Rio you might want to see (Copacabana & Ipanema) and it also helps that Uber is really cheap in Brazil. The apartment is very modern and well furnished, security is amazing inside with cameras outside the rooms, inside the elevators, gym etc. Safest I felt in Rio. Will definitely be coming back to this apartment in the future.
