Our first time using air BnB and we had a wonderful experience. Katia met with us and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment and gave us useful information regarding the public transport, shops close by ect. She left lovely treats, pastas and drinks to help ourselves to which was a lovely touch. The apartment is across the road from a supermarket, two blocks from Copocabana beach and two blocks to the subway, perfect location! The apartment is very clean and tidy, on the smaller side but perfect for what we needed. Katia kept in contact with us before arrival and the whole time we were in Rio with useful information on how to get to Olympic events and anything else we needed, it was so great to have someone you can ask questions to in an unknown environment. Would definitely stay back here again!
