This was a wonderful Airbnb. As Americans coming to Brazil it is one of the cleanest and nicest stays we have had, especially for the price. We came during the winter aka July so we were not able to use the pool. It is close to Ipanema Beach with plenty of restaurants down the hill. Going down to the Copacabana side was a little sketchy due to the favela that is right there. The room was great with air conditioning and a balcony. It had a stocked mini fridge and great Wi-Fi!! The only negative that I have to say about the room is the bed is definitely on the hard/firm side. If you are looking for a plush/pillow top bed this would not be the place for you. From what we have found most of the Brazilian beds are hard tho. Jardel does an excellent job at making you feel welcome. He even took the time to walk us around town to show us all to good places to eat! That was super nice and a great bonus to us tourists.
