It was my first time using airbnb and I absolutly love the whole experience. Raick was very nice and very helpful. From the moment I email him. Everything was perfect in the apt and very convienent to the metro and to the beaches. I felt like a local brazilian from the moment I landed and shopping at the local grocery store a block away to my metro ride to the beach and hanging out at Flamengo Park. My next trip to Rio is right back to Raick's apt...no more touristy hotels for me!
