I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carlos and his fabulous place. We stayed for a week and found the location to be amazing. It was an easy walk along the water to the center area, and super easy to just walk across the street to the metro or the train. There was a grocery store in the train station that had everything we needed. Each morning we walked across the street to the bakery in the grocery store for fresh pastries. The apartment had everything we needed and an amazing view. We were surprised how well the windows/blinds blocked out all the noise and light when we slept. We had no issues going up 3 flights of stairs to/from the apartment. We are in our 50’s/60’s. Communication with Carlos was fabulous, he helped us a lot prior to our trip and while there. We really enjoyed the restaurants right near the apartment, few minutes walk, Sol Brazil and Green Apple (I think that’s the name, ask Carlos he told us about it). Thank you Carlos for the fabulous week we had.
