I just came back after almost a week stay in Rio de Janeiro for Copa America. I had booked a different stay right by Copacabana beach but the amenities were a bit lacking. I reached out to Airbnb and as much as they tried, could not find me a decent spot. I looked around and thankfully Matteo's place was available, about a 10 minute ride from my previous spot.
I booked the place and he reached out to me almost immediately, although place I booked was not available, he offered a different option which was more expensive but offered it to me at the same rate. His place is within a 3 minute walking distance to the beach, very safe neighborhood, security 24/7. Two bedrooms, one with private bath and a washer with TV, kitchen amenities etc. Very clean, attentive and quick response time makes his customer service exceptional and I will stay again when I return to Rio soon.
