There was a definite wow factor with this place. The pictures are great & accurate but almost doesn’t do the place justice. I loved my stay there and it wasn’t until I stayed on our finally night in Rio in a hotel (due to me not getting my dates right) and now in a air bnb in Santiago how lucky I was that Regina decided to let us stay there. We felt safe in the building & surrounding area. The view of the lagoon everyday was a treat. If you do ever decide to visit Rio and you’re looking for a place then I would definitely recommend it here. It is not a place which is permanently designated as a air bnb property. But is their home with their stuff in which I liked because it felt very homely. An absolute pleasure to stay there.
