You are very lucky to have clicked on this accommodation. Click no further, and just book. (Unless of course you’re looking for a bland Copacabana hotel experience, in which case, don’t.) The house is beautiful and immaculate, with a lovely serene atmosphere – even nicer than in the photos. The strategic location can’t be beaten – between Santa Teresa, Lapa & Centro, and Gloria, a short walk to the metro for everything else, and easy to get an Uber. The corner house is at the quiet, pretty end of a street full of plants, with the contrast of the steps covered in fascinating art and graffiti leading down into Lapa (don’t be put off by this by the way, it might feel a bit edgy, but it’s not an unsafe area). However, all these good things pale into insignificance in comparison with the hosts. Never before have I stayed at an Airbnb and been made to feel so welcome, and gone from guest to friend in a couple of days. Thank you Paolo & Isabele!
