We loved our stay in Rio! Alex, Our host was fabulous! Edna, whom we worked with also, was very attentive! Check in was super easy. The apartment was BETTER than the pictures! So lovely. It was immaculate! We appreciated the extra touches…. Converters for American electronics, tissues, paper towels, a washer and dryer, a computer and printer, a dishwasher. We really enjoyed the thoughtful snacks left for us. We felt at home. We were a short walk to the beach, great restaurants, shopping. Everything was convenient and easy. Our host checked in on us to make sure all was well. He gave us great tips for traveling in Rio. I highly recommend this place! It was amazing!!
