Viviane was such a great host. Although she was not in Rio at the time of our trip, her brother Eduardo met us at the apartment and took the time to share some of his favorite places in Rio! Both Viviane and Eduardo were very responsive and were flexible when our flight was delayed, letting us check in late.

The apartment is perfect. In a great location, blocks from the beach and metro. Many restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and banks within walking distance. The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and has everything you need for your stay. Good AC, comfortable bed, filtered water, tv, etc. It felt very cozy and a great place to come back to and relax after exploring the city!

Listings like this are what make Airbnb a success. Highly recommend!
