Rodrigo was an excellent host. Communication with him was very easy since he was very attentive. At one point, we locked ourselves out by accident. He had the apartment open for us within 40 minutes. He was very helpful with advice about restaurants, how best to travel from airport etc. The apartment was impeccably clean with super modern amenities including a water filter. The building has concierges and is locked securely. The neighborhood is lovely with lots of restaurants and cafes and the apartment is 2 minutes walk from the lovely Rio de Janeiro garden. It is also within 4 minute walk of the subway and metro bus.
