We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Roberto's place. Both Roberto and his friend Alexandre were extremely helpful. Roberto provided directions to all major attractions and some tips to save money. Alexandre gave us a ride to/from the airport. The apartment was less than a block from the bus stop which made it easy for transportation. The LAPA area was safe and had a lot of restaurants and other things. Roberto left us some treats in the house, fruit & Candy. The apartment was very cozy. The beds were comfortable. We recommend this place.
