This was our first oversea travel with my gf also first Airbnb experience and actually we were little bit frightened. But thanks god we met with Antonio.
Host(Antonio and his mom): He is much more than a host, is like you have a buddy or special trip organizer in Rio. First of all he is a Rio and neighborhood expert. He helped us about everything that we must see - must go. Very positive and fun guy. And mom is a reason on her own for staying Antonio's place. She sings amazing and always smiling.
House: Very easy to find, although i thought i wouldn't find it, it took just 4 minutes walk after get off the bus and found it on my first try. Safe and 3-4 minutes walk to buses and metro. Even we come house after midnight the area was very safe and we had no problem. Also shared areas of house (bathroom-kitchen) was clean and hygienic
Room: The room is lightful and very simple decorated, which we loved about it. Has a wardrobe and air fan. We had no problem about sleeping.
As a result: Sorry for long review but i want to share everything, because the actual reason of i chose airbnb and Antonio's house that i couldn't find any available hotel in Rio because of carnival. But if i go to Rio de Janerio again, i absolutely stay Antonio's place even all hotels of Rio will available.
Thank you Antonio, kiss mom for us.
