Emiliano is a good guy who takes time to make sure you're feeling at home.
The neighbourhood, Laranjeiras, is more chic than many and is much more peaceful than Copacabana (I like peace, so this was good ✌🏻)
The apartment- It has a washing machine which is great for long term stays. The WiFi works well and would be good for those who need to make business calls while in Rio. You are right next to a supermarket, pharmacies, and beautiful walks.
If you want to experience a different side of Rio, a more "carioca" (someone from the city of Rio de Janeiro) type stay, Emiliano will take care of you 🤙
