This was my first time using Airbnb and I had a great experience. G & P were awesome hosts. Georgeana is wonderful and Paulino gave us tons of useful information for our first trip to Rio. The apartment is less than 5 minutes from the beach and the neighborhood is safe. Lots of restaurants and shops around. The apartment is clean and neat and has everything one would need including pots, pans, coffee maker, etc. I would definitely come back here again for my next trip to Rio!
