Rejane was an exceptional host catering to our requirements and assisting us getting around Rio, notifying us of upcoming events giving us insightful pointers of where to go to really get the best out of time in this beautiful city.The apartment was absolutely perfect for our requirements and is situated in Lagoa which we found out was an upscale district in Rio. The view from the apartment was the best aspect with stunning views which were a pleasure to wake up to every morning. The listing was accurate and our group felt more at home here than in a hotel and this for us was a cheaper option. The apartment was clean with everything we required and as mentioned the location was perfect, walking distance to Ipanema or Copacabana. The apartment bedroom offered a view of Christ the Redeemer, there really is no words that can express the sheer joy and pleasure that this apartment added to our trip. We did not hire a car as we all rented bicycles, so the only possible negative i can add to this review is that this apartment is on a steep hill that older guests might have difficulty walking up daily, however there is two entrances to the apartment which makes this easier. Considering the views this cannot be avoided
The description is 100% accurate, it may seem smaller at first but once settled this room is more than adequate and our party was 4 guys!!
We have every intention of visiting Rio and if we are unable to stay here again it will be a real shame.
We would like to that Rejane for her hospitality and allowing us to use her beautiful home for our trip I cannot recommend this enough. This was also my first experience of using Air BNB and I have no faults. I have travelled to many countries and Brazil ranks up there with the very best and a huge contribution to this was this wonderful apartment.
As many pictures of the view you take will never do justice to what you will see with your own eyes, absolutely wonderful.
Sometimes descriptions look too good to be true, however I am very unbiased and impartial, you get exactly what you see and more!
