The Coral Penthouse was simply fantastic. I cannot express how personable and helpful David was as a host. He communicated on messaging app with very clear guidance and was super responsive to any requests we had for how to best enjoy Rio.
The apartment itself is simply beautiful. We used all parts of the Coral Penthouse and it was a pleasure to stay there. It was very clean. The clean two days into the trip was great and made us feel very refreshed. It was perfectly situated near Copacabana Beach - so many restaurants and bars to go to near there. Such a good buzz and we could enjoy the beach everyday. It was a great hub to get an Uber and see the rest of Rio.
I had an interview to do during the stay - and the library was the perfect room to take a professional call.
We would cook meals to eat on the terrace using the kitchen and eat outside - which was a unique experience. David was able to advise on groceries, ordering pizzas, restaurant recommendations. Also when the airline lost our baggage - David was very helpful in advising on where we could get essentials and the logistics around this.
I really hope we get to stay at the Coral Penthouse in the future again. We stayed in a few Airbnbs in Rio, and this was the best by a long stretch.
