Levy was a great introduction to Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. He had many local tips and suggestions and probably could create a brochure or guide for visitors. The suite was in a secure building on a safe street. It provided everything we needed as guests: a comfortable bed, hot water, refrigerator, dishes, and wifi. The location was nearly perfect. Within two blocks, everything you need is available, including cafes, restaurants, bars, markets, and shopping. Ipanema beach was within a quick and safe three block walk. With the bus and metro one block from the suite, rest of the city was quickly accessible.
