My stay at Ricardo's was perfect--just what I needed to relax. The check-in was seamless despite a delayed flight. Ricardo works close by so he is readily available. He even took time to introduce me to a local bar and helped me learn how to order a beer in Portuguese.

His place was spotless and thoughtfully decorated. New appliances and comfy resting areas.

What I most enjoyed about my stay at Ricardo's was the location. Ricardo's apartment is away from the the tourist circus, but still very close to all the action (and the airport). Access to two metro stops and a small shopping mall with full-service grocery is nearby.
