If you are staying in Rio, book this AirBnB! There is a 24/7 doorman and it is in a very cute/safe area directly between the lagoon and the beach. The apartment is very clean, very modern, and had a lot of little touches that made staying there far better than staying in other airbnbs or even a hotel. Additional pros: new washing machine w drying rack, smart-tv, beach towels, etc. It is definitely worth the cost, 10/10.
