Carlos was waiting on my partner and I to arrive. He was great in making us feel at home. He got out all his maps and told us everything to do in Rio. He was so accommodating and made us feel at home when we first arrived. He more than met my expectations. The house is so beautiful. We mostly walked Rio all day and then went to the condo to sleep. The bedroom has everything- TV, fans, zoned air conditioning. The bathroom was awesome too. Everything was very well decorated and very clean. The neighborhood was great. It was in a very private, quiet neighborhood. It was on the end of cococobana beach closest to sugar loaf mountain. We met Beth the next day. She is so, so sweet. She has the best smile that would make anyone feel at home. Carlos and Beth are the best hosts that you could ever ask for. My partner speaks spanish and I only speak english. But I feel that even if it was just me and that I just spoke english that I would have totally had a great time as well. They have so many maps and are great communicators and ultimately really care. Carlos and Beth are 5 star hosts. And they have every electronic item that you have.
