This AirBnB is a really cool, open air accommodation with great views. Definitely not your typical place! It has curtains for privacy if you'd like them, but it's pretty high up and felt very secluded. We were very comfortable here. It does have some noise but I suspect that anywhere in Rio would and my wife who is a light sleeper did fine with ear plugs. It was right around the corner to the Escadaria do Selarón. We had no trouble getting an Uber to and from this airbnb. Ricardo was a great host, warm and welcoming, and we wish we could have stayed longer!
