Ian's place was the best airbnb we stayed at in rio (we stayed in 3 other Airbnbs). Ian has nice beds, nice towels, nice everything (underrated in Rio) and is incredibly communicative. The neighborhood seems WAY safer and nicer than Ipanema or Copacabana. The outdoor area is nice and has a nice hammock. Ian goes above and beyond, for example, leaving the fridge withe coke and guyana and water, etc.
