Fabio went above and beyond as a host. He is beyond accommodating and is very helpful to anyone visiting Rio for the first time. My flight was delayed so I came to the flat a few hours later then anticipated. Fabio came personally to greet us and to show us how everything around the flat works. He had bottled water and fresh fruits for us in the fridge. He also has guide books, food menus, extra USB cables and a voltage converter which was very helpful to me. The flat was nice, clean and 3 blocks away from Copacabana Beach! This location is excellent as I toured the city in taxi and paid anywhere between $15- 25 Reals to get to most tourist attractions. The flat is exactly how it looks like in the pictures and I really liked the neighbourhood. I never felt like my life was in danger as I left at all different times of the day and night. The flat is conveniently located by a Starbucks, a supermarket and a Money Exchange place. (Please go to this Money Exchange place! Best Rates!). The occupants of the building are all friendly as well as the 24hr doorman. During my stay we chated on Whats App and I received immediate response from Fabio. His English is perfect! I thought it was very sweet of him to check up on me to see how I was enjoying Rio during the middle of my trip. Check out was a breeze and I would definitely recommend Fabio's flat. Thank you for everything Fabio!
