I can't recommend this accommodation in Larenjeiras enough. The space is the top floor of a three story house with stunning views of Rio, especially Sugar Loaf mountain and the surrounding waters there. It is a large open plan studio which was expertly designed with care and thought. There are convenient plug points everywhere for devices, great and reliable wifi, a TV with Netflix and a well working air conditioner. There is also a full refrigerator/freezer and a full stove top for cooking. When you stay here you will also have joint access to the host's pool which offers amazing views of the surrounding forests and Christ the Redeemer.
This is the perfect place to stay for a single traveler, couples or those travelling with children. It can comfortably sleep up to 6 people. The location is very central to many tourist attractions in Rio while also allowing you peace and quiet away from the city when you want it.
Jose and Karin are absolutely incredible hosts and on numerous times they went well above and beyond what I would have expected from an AirBnB host. They are lovely people and they will do their absolute best to make sure you enjoy your time in their city. If you are looking for a unique and amazing place to stay during your trip in Rio I would highly recommend considering this place. I will certainly try to be back sometime soon.
