Gabriela and Chris were amazing hosts! They were attentive to our every need throughout our stay during the Olympics and their apartment was beautiful. They even spent over an hour in front of the apartment when we were leaving to assist us with our airport transfer.

Prior to our arrival, Gabriela responded to our questions about the apartment, the immediate area, and Rio in general with extremely helpful information. After arriving, Gabriela and Chris went above and beyond our expectations, which helped make our stay in Rio a wonderful experience. Whenever we had an issue or question, Chris and Gabriela were able to quickly respond using "whatsapp" on our iPhones with the wifi service at the apartment.

It was great to have a base each evening (and several full days) to relax with a great view and all the amenities one would want in an apartment and a complex as a whole. There is a very good grocery store a block away and easy access by Uber to all of Rio. We didn't eat out much but didn't need to with the fully stocked kitchen and large dining area (they even stocked the kitchen with some basic food for our arrival). The balcony has expansive views across the river, which was fun to watch the watercraft pass by.

We highly recommend Chris' and Gabriela's apartment to anyone planning a stay in Rio who is lucky enough to find their listing on Airbnb. As importantly, Gabriela and Chris are great people that will make any trip to Rio that much more enjoyable.

As a direct note to Gabriela and Chris, thank you so much for making our trip to Rio a wonderful memory. We are greatly appreciative of all your help during our time in Rio and we hope you have nothing but success in achieving your goals. Your kind hospitality will always be remembered by our family!
