Filipe was a five star host and his location is one of the best values I've ever found on airbnb. 2 story penthouse with a hot tub in a serene part of Rio? Unbeatable. Sunsets here were incredible. For my international travelers: 1) learn a few words of Portuguese to communicate with the security/staff/doormen at this condo complex and 2) understand that this neighborhood (Barra da Tijuca) is a very chill, more settled residential neighborhood with good shopping + restaurants; if you're looking for more walkable nightlife, it's hard to find it here.
