We could not have selected a better place for our stay in Rio!
Right from the start, communication with Jose was excellent, he replied promptly and when arriving in Rio he was there to greet us at the door.
The apartment is perfectly located, one block from the beach and within walking distance to the metro and restaurants/bars right on our doorstep.
There is a supermarket only one block away and the apartment has everything you need to be able to cook a meal.
The apartment was super clean and tidy, plenty of room for a couple, it is also very secure with a really friendly doorman.
We did have a small issue with the hot water service whilst we were staying in the apartment, but Jose fixed it so quickly, we really could not complain at all, he is really a superior Airbnb host!
I would definitely recommend Jose's apartment for anyone looking for accommodation in Rio! If I ever come back, which I'd love to, I'll be sure to stay here again!
