My cousin and I spent five days in this apartment, very convenient to copacabana beach, sugarloaf mountain, markets, and major access roads. The online photos were an accurate picture of what the apartment offered in size, space, look, and amenities. The apartment building itself seemed quite safe and friendly and we never worried about ourselves or belongings. Also worth noting that it was an easy location to describe to taxicab drivers despite our limited knowledge of Rio and Portuguese.
Fabio was very nice, had good suggestions, and provided us with a detailed map. He was also flexible with check in and check out timing. This was only my second time using airbnb and I was very pleased with how comfortably everything worked out.
