Priceless location, accessible host and good value are the three main qualities of Brux place.
Location :Just a couple of blocks from Ipanema beach, great shopping, options of restaurants and a half a block subway makes this Airbnb a perfect place for easy access everywhere in Ipanema. I walked also to Copacabana beach about 25 minutes.
Great value: most places are double the price in Ipanema. Brux offers a full apartment for the price of a share bedroom in Ipanema.
Host: I’ve never met him but Brux was always available, any question was answered within minutes, he is polite and always willing to offer tips and advise.
Another plus: the Spanish shower is incredible !!! Tons of hot and cold water, I love it!! Having a washer was also a big plus !!
I didn’t use it but the kitchen and utensils were brand new.
Cons: a couple of reasons why I can’t give 5 stars: the noise coming from the doors of the entrance of the building. The apartment is located on the first floor, the bedroom window is within a few feet from the building metal doors. Early in the morning you could hear people coming and going. I didn’t care much, my priority was enjoying every minute in Rio. The other small issue that was immediately fixed was the bedroom linen. Brux guaranteed that it was washed but I disagree. Another set of sheets were provided right away.
Overall if noise if not an issue this is a perfect place to stay in Rio. Thank you Brux !
