I really enjoyed Raygs's place! COMMUNICATION: Excellent! Once I booked the apartment I received a bunch of helpful information on Whatsapp. He even connected me to his neighbor and a local driver in case I needed further help with anything while in Rio. CHECKIN: Raygs had an associate meet me at the building and show me around. She was nice and friendly. ACCURACY: The apartment is even lovelier in person. CLEANLINESS: Very clean. Everything is tidy and updated. I had zero issues other reviews complained about. AMENITIES: I loved having Nespresso pods every day. Raygs also had Coke, Wine Coolers, Beer and a few snacks on hand. It was so generous and appreciated. I also enjoyed using the provided robe. It felt like I was a hotel guest. Very cozy! WASHER: I used the washer with no problem. Detergent was supplied and the washer is new and easy to use. BED: I didn't end up using the bed. I just folded down the futon and slept there. It's a bit uncomfortable in the middle (where there is a metal bar) but I liked sleeping on the tall platform so it was worth it for me. Plenty of pillow, sheets and blankets available WIFI: Worked pretty well. There were slow times but mostly worked well. A/C: Cooled very quickly so I didn't even have to leave it on all the time (and I was visiting in summer!) SHOWER: Awesome rain shower! Warm water throughout the entirety of my shower and great water pressure. QUIET: There was a bit of noise from outside and from neighbors but nothing enough to break my sleep (and I'm a light sleeper). VIEW: There was no view. The window looks out to another building. LOCATION: Great safe location. To enter the building you have to be buzzed in by security so I felt secure. The unit is in a cul-de-sac so there's not much traffic going by. You can easily walk to stores, restaurants and grocery stores. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away. LOCAL THINGS: The small restaurant on the corner 'Socco' is good and has a variety of food options. There's also an Acai cart on the corner as well. This is really helpful if you don't have a car and want to grab something to-go to eat in the apartment. I'd say the best part of this Airbnb was Raygs's hospitality. He was very pleasant and accommodating. An A+ host and I would recommend his place with no hesitation.
