The apartment was small but the appliances are all top notch. (Coffee is king and I'm glad Rodrigo feels the same way:). We're sorry we weren't met by Rodrigo but after a bit of reading and a few questions we were well acquainted with the working of everything. The location of the apartment is GREAT. Safe and ideal for a good time spent in Rio. Rodrigo is a lovely host, attentive and very responsive. He has a lovely and polite manner and always willing to help. Thanks Rodrigo we really appreciate everything.
