Carlos met me upon arrival with plenty of helpful information for the stay. He was also kind enough to give a tour around the neighborhood so I knew were to find everything. We even enjoyed a beer afterwards. Carlos has great knowledge of culture and it speaks through his apartment. The place was clean, safe, and in a perfect location - 5min walk to the beach! There is a 24hr doorman too for added security. If you're looking for a place to unwind, after a day of sightseeing and exploring - look no further. I hope to stay here next time I visit Rio! Thanks for being an amazing host, Carlos!
